Bible verse of the day; Romans 6:15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!
Daily Devotional; For such a time as this by In Touch Ministries.
We clearly see the Lord’s sovereign hand at work in Esther’s life when she was plucked from obscurity and elevated to be the queen of Persia. She was a young woman with no social standing or power. Without her cousin Mordecai’s protection, Esther was actually very vulnerable. Can you imagine how upset, confused, and uncertain she must have felt as events were unfolding around her?
We may feel like that, too. God’s purposes are being worked out just the way He’s planned, but from our earthly perspective, things sometimes seem confusing and unclear. That’s why Esther’s story is encouraging. It teaches us to trust in God’s will. After all, He doesn’t save us and then leave us to fend for ourselves. Instead, He continually guides each of His children in the work He has planned.
Begin looking for the Lord’s hand in your life. He is working out His design—sometimes with gentle nudges, other times via jarring disruptions. No matter what happens, don’t forget that He is present and always moving and directing. Never imagine yourself to be insignificant in His eyes. You’re so highly esteemed that almighty God has designed a unique calling just for you.
14:1 The fool says in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
14:2 The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
14:3 All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
14:4 Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the Lord.
14:5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous.
14:6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.
14:7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
Summary; The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men: While man may wish to forget about God, God never forgets about man. He is always observing man, looking down from heaven upon the children of men. i. In man’s rejection of God, there is often the wish that God would just leave us alone.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father please, we ask, open our eyes to your existence, your power, your love, and your mercy, and your grace in Jesus Christ.In Jesus’ name we pray.Amen.

Amen.
