The Tables Are Turned

Once King Ahasuerus heeded Esther’s pleas and nullified his edict against the Jews, the tables were turned, and God’s people enjoyed a great victory. Yet while the Jews gained mastery over their Persian opponents, they also showed restraint by not taking any plunder. Their rejoicing was great as they sang the song of deliverance. As Alistair Begg reminds us, God is always working behind the scenes. His providence shows us that He knows what is best for His children.
