The book of Esther is the only book in the Bible that does not mention God by name.
Because of this, some have even questioned its place in the Bible, but, in reality, the absence of God's name fits perfectly with the theme of the book.
The point of the book of Esther appears to be showing us how God works behind the scenes.
Even though there are no miracles and no direct intervention from God, his hand is clearly seen
In Esther's story, the Lord takes care of His people through the faith and courage of one strategically placed woman and her cousin. Throughout the whole book, things are happening behind the scenes to bring about this final outcome.
So many times we sit back and wait for a sign from heaven in order to move. We pray for guidance, expecting a voice from heaven to tell us what to do.
But, as in the book of Esther, sometimes if we pay attention to the details of our lives, we can clearly see his leading. And as long as this lines up with what we know the Bible teaches, we can safely move ahead.
