Na‘a ko e ‘uhinga ho‘o ‘i aí  ki ha taimi pehe ni
For such a time as this

‘ESETA 5-7 (ESTHER 5-7)

VEESI LAULOTO: Teutalonome 29:29
Ko e ngaahi me‘a ‘oku fufū ‘oku ‘ia Sihova ko hotau ‘Otua: ka ko e ngaahi me‘a kuo fakahā ‘oku ‘atautolu mo ‘etau fānau ‘o ta‘engata ke tau feia ‘a e ngaahi lea kotoa ‘o e lao ni.

MEMORY VERSES: Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Na’e pau ‘a e loto ‘o ‘Eseta ke ne fai ha tokoni ma’a hono kakai.  Ko e tu’unga na’a ne ‘i ai ko e tu’unga faingata’a.  Na’e malava pe ke mole ‘a e mo’ui ‘a e Kuini kapau na’e hu ki he Tu’i ta’e fakaafe’i.  Ko ia ai na’e teuteu ‘a ‘Eseta ‘a e fo’i ngaue mahu’inga ko eni ‘o fou ‘i ha lotu mo e ‘aukai.  Na’e lotu mo ‘aukai mo e kakai Siu.  Na’e hili ha ‘aho ‘e tolu, na’e hu ‘a ‘Eseta ki he loto’a ‘o e Tu’i ‘o fai ‘ene fakaafe ki he Tu’i mo Hamani ki ha’ane katoanga.  Na’e hoko pe ‘a e vaha’a taimi ko ‘eni ‘o e tatali ‘a ‘Eseta ke fakakakato ‘a e ngaahi ngaue ‘a e ‘Otua ‘i hono tokonaki ‘a e ngaahi tapa kehekehe fekau’aki pea mo e fakahaofi ki hono kakai.  ‘Oku tau mamata ‘i he Folofola, pea ‘oku fakamanatu kiate kitautolu ‘i he tapa kehekehe fekau’aki pea mo e ngaahi ngaue ‘oku hoko ke fou mai ai ‘a e fakahaofi ‘a e ‘Otua, ko e ngaue kotoa ma’a hono langilangi ‘i he ngaahi tu’unga kehekehe ‘o e mo’ui.  Na’e fakafehalaaki’i ‘a e ‘amanaki ‘a Hamani, ‘i he’ene pehe ko ia ‘e fakalangilangi’i ‘e hono fili, Motekiai, kae ‘osi ange, ko Motekiai ia na’e fakataumu’a ki ai ‘a e fakalangilangi ‘a e Tu’i pea ‘e fai ia ‘e Hamani.  ‘Oku hoko ‘a e talanoa ni, ke ne faka’ali’ali ‘a e tu’unga aoniu mo e tu’unga pule ‘o e ‘Otua ki he tapa kotoa ‘o e mo’ui. 

‘I ho’o fakakaukau mo vakai ki he fu’u ngaue ma’ongo’onga ‘a e ‘Otua ‘i he talanoa fungani ‘o ‘Eseta, manatu ko e ‘Otua ‘oku pule ki ho’o mo’ui, pea ‘oku ‘uhinga ia ke ke falala kakato kiate Ia ‘aki ‘a e kotoa ‘o ho’o mo’ui.

Esther decided to intervene for her people. The stakes were high. Even the queen could be put to death for entering the king's presence without an invitation. So Esther prepared through fasting and praying. The Jewish people did the same. After three days, Esther entered the king's court, inviting the king and Haman to a banquet. Her patience gave time for God to work out the details of His plan for salvation. Time and again in Scripture, we are reminded that God orchestrates even the seemingly insignificant moments of our lives to bring Him glory. Whereas Haman was expect to be honored by his enemy Mordecai, it was Mordecai who would be publicly by Haman. Throughout, we are reminded of God's sovereign control over the details of our lives. As you reflect on the picture of God in these chapters, remember that God is in control of your life, which means you can trust Him wholeheartedly.Through God's use of Isaiah, the Israelites were convicted of their sins, recognized God's faithful love, and prayed for Him to again look with favor upon them Isa. 63-64). The book closes with God's response to Israel's prayer, which was a final reminder of His faithful love and their repeated disobedience. God used Isaiah to tell the people that they would be punished for their sins but that they would also be restored to Him, and eventually, that restoration would be eternal. As a result, people everywhere would recognize God for who He is and serve and worship Him in response. From the vision of the future in Revelation, we are reminded that one day this eternal worship will be a reality for all of God's people. And so, in the meantime, we are to serve God and live for Him today.
