Esther 9
In this passage, it shows how we should deal with difficulties, trials and suffering we encounter in life. The evil forces always lead us to these unwanted aspects into our life and make us under their control. They always contradict on what Jesus wants our reaction should be – and that is to stay under His protection.
Think of a situation like this, you see a dangerous creature running towards you ready to stab you with his ugly and dirty weapon. What should be your action? Of course, for most of us, we will run and try to avoid that dangerous creature. But what Jesus Christ wants us to do is to be still on his protective shield and believe on His finished work. Believe that Jesus is stronger and more powerful than the approaching dangerous creature. With that awareness, we can overcome that dangerous creature and claim victory. In Christ, we remain victorious in every aspect of life. Also, He can make those difficult trials into pleasing blessing that we will rejoice to have. Just like in the passage, Jews were threaten to be killed by the authorities who hated them most, but in God’s grace, they overcome it and were joyful to win the battle and until now, they celebrate the feast of this triumph they had.
Whenever we experience difficulties in life, we must always stay in Christ’s resting place. For in Christ, there is always a way out from difficulties to happiness and make our joy complete.
Remain at rest in Christ’s finished work, and He will turn your evil day into days of rejoicing and feasting!
