The Book Of Esther Research Paper

Through thick and thin God will always be by my side. No matter what happens I know I can trust in Him. God has taught me many things throughout this study of Esther 4. It is hard to put into words and describe what lit up in my head when it all made sense and came together. The book of Esther is about a brave girl who found the courage from God and from the people around her to rescue her people from destruction. The whole book shows God’s love and plans for the preservation of His people. He prepared Esther to believe and trust in Him at a critical moment where He could use her. Through this study of Esther I have learned that the smallest details work an essential part in God’s plan, God always takes care of His people, and God’s plan always

Verse 13 talks about how Esther will not be able to hide from the persecution of the Jews in the king’s palace: “you will not escape,” which I think is really interesting because the king does not know Esther is a Jew, so in fact, she would be able to escape. I think Mordecai was talking about a different kind of escape, from her conscience.

In the same way, I myself was chosen. I think of last semester’s study of Psalm 139. Verse 16 fits best. “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” It is an awesome reminder that God knows what is going to happen and where we will be in the future. I also think Samuel 12:22 goes along, “For the Lord will not forsake his people, for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you a people for himself.” God has a plan for the future, it goes beyond my understanding, but when I take a moment to pause and think, I am reminded that God’s plan will always come through.

Esther 2:21,22 talks about what happened before the proclamation of the destruction of the Jews had been issued.
“In those days, as Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. And this came to the knowledge of Mordecai, and he told it to Queen Esther, and Esther told the king in the name of
