We All Serve a Great God, The God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob-We are Blessed: He Turns Our Mourning into Gladness!

 

Queen Esther, seized with mortal anguish,

had recourse to the LORD.

She lay prostrate upon the ground, together with her handmaids,

from morning until evening, and said:

"God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, blessed are you.

Help me, who am alone and have no help but you,

for I am taking my life in my hand.

As a child I used to hear from the books of my forefathers

that you, O LORD, always free those who are pleasing to you.

Now help me, who am alone and have no one but you,

O LORD, my God.

"And now, come to help me, an orphan.

Put in my mouth persuasive words in the presence of the lion

and turn his heart to hatred for our enemy,

so that he and those who are in league with him may perish.

Save us from the hand of our enemies;

turn our mourning into gladness

and our sorrows into wholeness."

-Esther C:12, 14-16, 23-25

God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, blessed are you! God is so good to all of us! All we need to do is ask like Esther! What faith and trust in the Lord! He is looking out for us! He is taking care of every need! We do not need to pray for anything, just that the will of God be done in our lives! He knows what is best for us and is looking out for us always like can be seen in this passage from Esther! We serve such a loving God, The same God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, He is blessing us always! I really like this Esther verse from the Bible. It is a great reminder for all of us.  God saves us from the hand of our enemies; turns our mourning into gladness and our sorrows into wholeness! What a blessing!
