Esther

"How the providence of God watched over the Jews that had returned out of captivity to their own land, and what great and kind things were done for them, we read in the two foregoing books; but there were many who staid behind, having not zeal enough for God's house, and the holy land and city, to carry them through the difficulties of a removal thither. These, one would think, should have been excluded the special protection of Providence, as unworthy the name of Israelites; but our God deals not with us according to our folly and weakness. We find in this book that even those Jews who were scattered in the provinces of the heathen were taken care of, as well as those who were gathered in the land of Judea, and were wonderfully preserved, when doomed to destruction and appointed as sheep for the slaughter."
(from Matthew Henry's commentary on Esther)

I love the book of Esther. It is a mere ten chapters. It shows how all things work together for our good and His glory. And as Henry points out, we are not dealt with according to our sin, but through the redemptive work of Another. Take the time to read through this chapter and savor the works of the Father.
