About this listen

In Esther chapter 1, we see how human pride and earthly power cannot stand in the way of God's sovereign purposes. King Xerxes displays his wealth and authority, only to be undone by his own arrogance, while the fall of Queen Vashti quietly sets the stage for God's redemptive plan. Though God's name is never mentioned in Esther, His providence is unmistakable. Even the pride, folly, and injustice of men are used by the Lord to accomplish His will and prepare the way for deliverance. This episode explores: • The danger of pride and self-exaltation • The limits of human authority • God's unseen providence at work • The contrast between worldly power and the humility of Christ 📖 Scripture: Esther 1 (ESV) 🎙️ Reading the Bible Daily with Dave 🌐 https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/
