Series Description: God has a purpose for your life, and every action or event that occurs within it has been used to make that purpose a bona fide reality. The story of Esther appears to be a series of coincidences strung together to deliver the Jews from extermination. In fact, God selected Esther for a particular purpose at a particular time.
Seeing the Invisible Hand (Esther 1–2): Often, we speak of the providence of God, pertaining to His protection and His provision.

That’s where God comes in; He has the capacity to take the irreversible circumstances of our lives and reverse them on a dime.
Date with Destiny (Esther 9–10): Perhaps the most important thing we should know as we endure hardship and tragedy is that God has a plan of deliverance. Satan may have selected a day where he thinks he will destroy you, but the God of divine reversals has replaced that day of destruction for
Connecting Your Plans with God's Providence (Esther 4:13-17): There are so many threads woven into the fabric of our lives. Our decisions, other’s decisions and even circumstances beyond our control all contribute to the essence of what our lives are about. It should inspire you to know that God has blended all of these threads together to craft His perfect plan for you.
