Can you imagine if Esther and Mordecai were spies sent on a mission to infiltrate the palace and thwart Haman’s plot to harm the Jewish people? It might sound like a stretch, but God was working behind the scenes the entire time, even though God‘s name is missing from the official records! In this five week series, our families will learn that God gives me a mission, nothing will turn me away from God, I can stand up for God and others, I can follow God, even when nobody’s watching, and God can send me to make peace.
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the
good.” Proverbs 15:3 (NIV)
