In the first two chapters of Esther, we see a world where God seems silent, yet His presence is unmistakably woven into the story. Through Esther and her cousin Mordecai, God's quiet, providential care emerges. Just as Esther continued to show up despite uncertainty, we, too, are encouraged to persist in faith through seasons of silence, trusting that God is at work even when we can't see or feel it.
