Bishopric message – Parleys Stake

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

The book of Esther is one of only two books in the Bible that does not explicitly mention God. Rather it is a narrative that recounts a series of events, circumstances, and choices that ended a plot by Haman to annihilate the Jews who were exiled throughout the Persian empire and capital city of Shushan (modern-day Susa, Iraq) during the reign of King Xerxes/Ahasuerus. It was Esther who God put in the right place, at the right time, and who chose to courageously and faithfully act on behalf of her people despite serious potential consequences to herself.

We learn that God is working in the events and circumstances of our lives even if He seems to be absent or missing. Likewise, we can be like Esther and choose to serve God whenever, wherever, and in whatever way He asks. Right Place. Right Time. Courage to Act!
