Tonight is the final night of an eleven week Bible study of the book of Esther. This study entitled "Esther - It's tough being a woman" is in my opinion the best of all of the Beth Moore studies. Throughout the verse by verse study of the book of Esther, God has shown our group many wonderful truths and brought much comfort and hope through these difficult days that we are experiencing as a country and as individuals.
To summarize this study the following is a summary of what God is teaching me:
Even though God does not literally appear on the pages of the book of Esther, His providential presence is there.
Providence belongs to the Creator of the Universe, our Holy God.
Purpose for my life requires seeking and obeying God in all things.
The answer to all questions, dilemmas, and troubles in life boil down to GOD.
God, alone, causes the reversal of destiny in the life of His children.
It is tough being a woman...........
....in the shadow of another woman,
....in a world where beauty is a treatment,
....in a mean world,
....thrown a giant sized weight,
....in the tight fist of fear,
....who can balance passion with patience,
....who feels responsible for the "how",
But, God turns tough situations into destiny...........
....No one can out shadow God's shadow,
....God makes everything beautiful in his time
....In a mean world, believers are called to a good fight,
....God always has the upper hand, exchange your burden for a spiritual weapon,
....Every time you are in a tight fist of fear, remember you are in something tighter - the hand of God,
....Don't waste the wait,"blessed are those who wait for God."
....TRUST God for the "how"!
Praise God for His comforting truth and providential peace, even when it is really tough being a woman! A thank you to Beth Moore for her faithfulness to study and teach God's word.
