See how God worked in the life of a young Jewish girl, Hadassah who was placed in a positon to prevent the annihilation of her entire nation. Hadassah is better known by her Persian name: Esther. In this first chapter sets the scene by showing us the background of how Esther came to be in this prominent postion. God's name is never mentioned in the book of Esther, but it is clear that He is working behind the scenes throughout the lives of these people. This is encouraging to us to know that God is working behind the scenes in our lives also according to His plan in our lives.
