These daily online studies are adapted from our Quiet Time Bible Guide. The studies go through the Old and New Testaments in just over two years. The approach taken by our quiet time Bible studies does not include answers. The goal of the study is to help you dig into Scripture for yourself. You can go deeper using a commentary, Bible background guide or Bible handbook.
For more context before you begin studying, read this introduction to the book of Esther.
As the sunshine filtered through the sanctuary windows, the pastor stood and asked for the congregation to tell how God had been faithful. One by one the people rose to their feet and spoke. There were testimonies about marriages restored, physical healings, new passion for service, children coming to Christ and spiritual growth. I listened with a joyful heart; certainly God was faithful!
The book of Esther shows that God brings justice in his time and in his way. But one thing remains certain: God is faithful. From overwhelming opposition to the smallest concern, God provides for us. In this chapter God provides not only for Esther and Mordecai, but for all of his people, and they respond with rejoicing and celebrating. Our response to God should be no different.
Recall in detail a time when God has proven himself faithful to you in a difficult situation. Thank God for all the ways he helped you.
Think over the past week and share how God has been faithful to you. Express to God your joy and gladness about his provision for you.
