Obedience is done under any bad situation.

I Samuel 13:1-23

Saul became a king in 30 years old, he reigned over Israel 42 years.

Jonathan attack the Philistine outpost at Geba, and Philistine heard about it, Then Saul had the trumpet blown throughout the land and said " Let the Hebrew hear", So all Israel heard the news "Saul has attacked the Philistine outposts, and Israel has become a stench to the Philistine." and people summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.

The Philistine assembled to flight Israel, Hebrews were fear and hid, Saul waited 7 days, the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and Saul's men begin to scatter. So Saul offered the burnt offering. Saul was afraid about the Philistine come and cared about the ceremony of the burnt offering, but was not really obey the words of the Load. He cared about the follower of him.

Only Saul and Jonathan have sword and spear, all Israelite flight to Philistine have not sword in their hand

Saul was scared to flight after he became a king.

Why?

When Saul be a king he enjoying with some men follow him. He forgot he has the role to protect Israelite.

Under difficult situation, waiting for the Load and obey the words of the Load is more important. Fight is the Load let us get victory. Saul what God has done for him. Saul did by his own mind.

Saul found their situation was worse than the Philistine.

Saul's disobedience and arrogance in taking over the function of the prophet costs him his dynasty.

How?

The time is belong to the Load.

Triumph is depend on the Load. Obedience is done under any bad situation. Disobedience is caused by our arrogance or proud heart.

serve the Load with all my heart and consider the hand of God

I Samuel 12:1-25

Samuel's farewell speech to Israelite: 1)Samuel have not done evil thing to his people, The Load is witness, so as all Israel witness. 2)There fathers forgot the Load their God, now they want a king to rule over them, you did evil thing in the eyes of the Load when you asked of a king. 3)Be sure to fear the Load and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.

Now then stand here, Now then stand still and see this great thing the Load is about to do before your eyes! Samuel called upon the Load, and that same day the Load sent thunder and rain. So the people stood in awe of the Load and of Samuel.

For the sake of his great name the Load will not reject his people, because the Load was pleased to make you his own.

Samuel said " as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Load by failing to pray for you."

Farewell speech make the end of he rule of the judges.

Why?

Samuel is old, he could not serve Israelite longer, he loves his people, so talk to Israelite what evil thing they did and what they should do in the future, he asked God gave him the sign that what he spoke is come from the Load.

Serving the Load faithfully with all your heart, and consider what great things he has done for us; it is useful when we have distress or dismay.

How?

Serve the Load faithfully with all my heart and consider what he did great thing for me. Yes He have done. As for me, far be it from me that I will serve the Load with all my heart and remember, consider what great things he has done for me.

Holy Spirit works through our inner mind

I Samuel 11:1-15

After be announced a king of Israel, Saul was living as usual, work in his fields.

Jabesh Gilead asked for help for Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged them, then they sent help message to Israel, the Spirit of God came upon him in power and he burned with anger. The terror of the Load fell on the people, it cause Israelite turned out as one man. There were 300 thousand men gathered.

God helped Saul and Israelite to attack Ammonite, during the last watch of the night they broke into the camp of the Ammonites and slaughtered them until the heat of the day.

After this war, Saul was confirmed as king in the presence of the Load.

To be a king of Israel, people said to Samuel," kill some men despised him and brought him no gifts when he was announced a king. Saul have mercy on those people, for this day the Lord has rescued Israel. Saul knew is the Load saved Israel, was not by his power.

Why?

For perhaps the first time since Joshua the nations is united.

King is a man, who should living as usual, people be called by his name the title is the relationship, that is not real name, relationship is a gift that given by the Load.

Saul to be a real king was started and be done by the Load. Saul just did whatever his hand finds to do. Holy Spirit may work through our inner mind.

In the begging of a king, Saul was humble before the Load.

How?

The name is more important than the title or the relationship. The Load know us by our name.

Holy Spirit may work through our mind when we do it peace.

To be chosen one of the Load, sign of Holy Spirit is needed

I Samuel 10:1-27

Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on Saul. Saul was anointed as a leader over God's inheritance.

Those signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you. There were 1)meet 3 men, they will greet you, and offer you 2 loaves of the bread, that were going up to God. 2)The Spirit of the Load will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with procession of prophets. You will be changed into a different person. 3)meet 2 men asked them.

Samuel asked Saul go down to Gilgal ahead him and must wait seven days until Samuel come to sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.

Saul did not tell his uncle about the kingship.

Samuel used lot to let Israel know the Load chose Saul be the king of they want. Saul was has hidden himself among the baggage.

Samuel told people "Do you see the man the Load has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people." Then the people shouted, " Long live the king." Samuel explained to the people to the people the regulations of the kingship. He wrote them down on a scroll and deposited it before the Load. Then Samuel dismissed the people.

Why?

To be a chosen man of the Load, 1) be anointed 2)be offer something of the God 3)be a prophet when the Spirit of the Load come upon. These are the signs.

Saul didn't tell his uncle about the kingship for he was afraid these assignment, for he thought he was very little one in his tribe. He fights shy(Like Moes before him)

Samuel has the wisdom to announced Saul be the king, it wasn't chose by him but by the Load.

Samuel do what his responsibility of a servant of the Load.

How?

When God's signs is come upon, do not be afraid, do whatever your hand finds to do.

I need the sign of Holy Spirit.

Humble my self and search His way

I Samuel 9:11-27

Saul did not know he will be a king of Israel, but the Load has tall Samuel the day before Saul came.

When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the Load said to him,"This is the man I spoke to you ; he will govern my people."

To whom is all the desire of Israel turned, if not to you and all your father's family?

Saul is a Benjamite from the smallest tribe of Israel, and his clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin. The Load raised the poor from the dust and lift the needy from the ash heap.

Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and let Saul seated them at the head of those who were invited.

Samuel talked with Saul o the roof of his house. They rose about daybreak and Samuel called to Saul on the roof, "Get ready, and I will send you on your way", they tell the servant to go on ahead of them, Samuel may give massage from God to Saul.

Why?

The Load has very good communication with Samuel.

The Load chooses the poor or needy people from the dust and ash heap.

Saul to be seated on the head seat of dinner, he was invited by the highest priest. He was experienced an uncommon 2 days, for he was chose by the Load.

How?

Do not frustrated or felt the Load forsake me, when the time is coming the glory of the Load will come upon me if I honest follow his words. To be humble, and searching His way.

Where is my vision? Rely on the Load

I Samuel 9:1-10

Saul, the son of Kish, a Benjamite, an impressive young man without equal among the Israelite- a head taller than any of the others.

The donkeys belongs to Saul's father were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, tale one of the servant with you and look for the donkeys.

Saul could not find the donkeys, the servant suggested," there is a man of God; he is highly respected, and everything he says comes true. Let's go there, perhaps he will tell us what way to take"

Saul said "If we go, what can we give the man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?"

The prophet of today used to be called a seer.

Why?

God chose a man with outstanding look, people of Israel will like he. Man see outside, God sees the inside.

The donkeys lost and could not be found is the way of the Load and the servant with Saul has good suggestion to Saul. Even missing something be the arrangement of the Load. It brings Israel's future king from Gibeah to Ramah and the meeting with Samuel.

To ask something to the man of God need to bring gift same as to see the Load in temple.

Prophet is a seer, who can see the vision beyond.

Saul is a careless man who didn't heard the name of Samuel, and he is living in Ramah.

How?

Am I like Saul is a careless man, even didn't know the prophet of God?

Can I be a seer, see the Load want me to see the vision? I can't see vision unless the Load let me see it.

The Load is my king for ever

I Samuel 8:1-22

Samuel's sons are not walk in his ways, They were dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.

All the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel, they said to him," now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have"

The Load knows that they rejected the Load be their king, since they went out of Egypt.

The Load to be our king, we devout tithe to Him, but now we have to do more for the government

Why?

Samuel felt rejected and resists. But God advises Samuel to hear them out.

To be a servant might have sons do not walk his way.

How?

Listen to the word of the Load

Don't afraid the test, for thus far has the Load helped us

I Samuel 7:2-17

20 years later, Samuel said to all the people of Israel," If you are returning to the Load with all your hearts, then rid yourselves of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths and commit yourselves to the Load and serve him only."

When assemble all Israel at Mizpah and drew water and poured it out before the Load, confessed their sin and fasted.

The Load was with Samuel and Israel, defeated the Philistines in battle, and got back the towns from Ekron to Gath that the Philistines had captured from Israel.

Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen He name it Ebenezer, "Thus far has the Load helped us."

Samuel continued a judge over Israel all the days of his life. He went on a circuit from Bethel to Gilgal to Mizpah, judging Israel in all those places.

Why?

20 years later Samuel was growing up could be a priest and a leader of Israel.

Samuel said to all people of Israel, serve the Load only have to 1)get rid of all foreign gods 2) fast and confess their sin.

To be a priest of the Load and a judge, Samuel judge Israel to let them follow the words of the Load.

When people of Israel turned to the Load, test is coming, the enemy come up to attack them, the Load let people know the Load helped us.

How?

Don't afraid the test, for thus far has the Load helped us.

When my work i go through well , and another confrontation comes, I believed that the Load will help me to conquer it.

to be a servant of the Load, fear the Load

I Samuel 6:1-7:2

The ark of the Load shows the power by it's self, the ark won the honor among Philistines.

The ark of the Load had been in Philistine territory 7 months.

Philistines want send the ark back to Israel with guilt offering- 5 gold tumors and 5 gold rats, according to the number of the Philistine rulers.

The priests and the diviners said," get a new cart ready, with 2 cows that have calved and have never been yoked, Hitch the cows to the art, but take their calves away and pen them up. Take the ark of the Load and put it on the cart, and in a chest beside it put the gold objects you are sending back to him as guilt offering. If it goes up to its own territory, toward Beth Shemesh, then the Load has brought this great disaster on us. If it does not, then we will know it happened to us by chance.

The people of Beth Shemesh were rejoiced at the sight, they worship the ark by chopped the cart and sacrificed the cow as a burnt offering to the Load.

God struck down 70 peoples in Beth Shemseh because they had looked into the ark of the Load.

So they sent messengers to the people of Kiriath Jearim, asked them come to take ark of the Load to their place.

Why?

Can't let the Load leave with empty hand. We need to offer something to express our worship or guilt offering.

The Load is holy, men can't look the Load face by face.

The cows have calves may carry the cart and didn't turn away the way to Israel is a confirmation that all happened in Philistine were the hands of the Load.

Even Israel must learn not to overstep the mark. It is not safe to treat God as an object of idle curiosity.

How?

The Load is a living God, He is a spirit is not an object of idle.

The Load shows his power and own the honor in philistine. To be a servant have to fear the Load

Worship the king of kings

I Samuel 5:1-12

The ark of the Load let Dagon fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Load, and next day Dagon's head and hands had broken off and were lying on the threshold. That is why to this day neither priests of Dagon nor other who enter Dago's temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.

The Load's hand was heavy upon the people of Ashod and Gath, Ekron, he brought devastation upon them and afflicted them with tumors.

Finally all the rulers of the Philistines and said," Send the ark of the god of Israel away; let it go back to its own place."

Why?

To the Philistines' way of thinking, Dagon their god, has given them victory. So they place the Ark as a war-trophy at his feet. But Dagon is not the same class as the God of Israel. God is no inanimate object.

The face of Dagon fell down before the ark of the Load, as if in worship. It is mean done by the Load. The Load is the king of kings.

Step on the threshold is a rule in temples of Taiwan.It was started from this story.

The power of ark of the Load is the power of the Load, who directly affiliated enemy with tumors. Tumor is unclean symbol.

How?

The Load is the king of kings, but their are many people do not know this, they still step on threshold as they are respect their gods.

Worship the Load. He is a real god and the king of kings.

God with us when we obey the words of the Load

I Samuel 4:1-22

The prophet about the Eli's family was came truth. Eli's is dead and his 2 sons were dead in the same day. Eli's daughter-in-law dead while gave in birth. There was not old men in Eli's home.

Israel let the ark of the covenant of Load come with them, then the Load will come with them to defeat Philistines, but they were defeated and every man fled to his tent, the slaughter was very great. 30000 walk men loss more than previous defeated 4000 loss.

The Philistines said "Be strong Philistines! be men or you will be subject to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Be men and flight!"

The Ark of the Load was capture means "The glory has departed from Israel"

Why?

Being struck is allowed by the Load, even the ark of the covenant of the Load was with them. God with us does not mean the material or symbolic matter come with us, such as bible or cross. It is our heart obey the Load.

The commends of the Load never failed.

Actually the ark of the Load was captured by Philistines is mean that the glory departed Israel. It is a warning to Israelite.

The ark of the Load never return to Shiloh since that day.

The ark of the Load could be transported by the wooden wheeled wagon.

Enemy has there own mind to encourage them selves to flight.

How?

Flight is depends on the Load, do not rely on the symbolic matter but on our heart and faith to the Load.

God with us when we obey the words of the Load

retrain our sons is the responsibility

I Samuel 3:1-21

When the Load call you, the answer is "Speak, your servant is listening"

The Load said he will judge the family of Eli for he failed to restrain his son, his son made themselves contemptible. The guilt of Eli's house will never be stoned by sacrifice or offering.

When Eli knew it from Samuel, he said "He is the Load; let him do what is good in his eyes."

The Load was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of his words fall to ground. All Israel recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Load.

Why?

Samuel did not see the Load, but he described the Load is standing there as a man spoke to him.

Samuel became the messenger of the Load.

When the Load told us,usually we are not recognize He is the Load, but if it is the Load he will let us know He is speaking to us. Our altitude is "Speak, your servant is listening"

Training our sons doing good behavior is the responsibility of parent.

When God is with us, we will know what is the way of the Load. Samuel has a mother fear the Load and devote himself to the Load, so God will talk to Samuel.

Eli is the priest of the Load, he commit the authority of the Load. He did not angry to the Load or Samuel after he heard the judge to his family from Samuel.

Made them selves contemptible is will be judged by the Load.

How?

Retrain our sons and retrain our disciple is our responsibility for doing the work of the Load.

God's sovereignty and men's free will

I Samuel 2:12-36

El's son were wicked men; they had no regard for the Load. they were treating the Load's offering with contempt.

Each year Samuel's mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice. And the Load was gracious to Hannah; she conceived and gave birth to 3 sons and 2 daughters.

The boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the Load and with men.

The give prophecy against the house of Eli.

The Load declared :" Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor honor, but those who despise me will be despised."

Why?

What is more, they bringing prostitution into the worship of God.

It is equally true that their death is a direct outcome of their own free choice to disobey God.

The Bible sees no conflict between God's sovereignty and our free will.

2 kinds of children grew up one is royally obey the Load, another were doing evil and made them selves contemptible.

How?

There is no conflict between God's sovereignty and our free will.

I Samuel 1:Praying in heart rather than speak praying loudly

1 Samuel 1:1-28

Husband Elkanah was a righteous man, who went to Shiloh to offer the annual sacrifice to the Load and to fulfill his vow.

Wife, Hannah, was irritated by her rival till she wept and would not eat when they went to Shiloh with their husband.

Hannah prayed to the Load," O Load Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Load for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head."

Hannah was praying in her heart and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard, Eli thought she was drunk.

Eli answered her " Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him"

The Load remembered her, so in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She name him Samuel- heart of God, and saying "Because I asked the Load for him"

Hannah dedicated Samuel after his child weaned.

Why?

The Load chose a man living in righteous family. Samuel parent are fear the Load.

Hannah was irritated, she wept and she knew the hope is in the Load, not on her husband or her self.

Praying need from the heart even pray without voice. The Load is a spirit, He can listen our prayer without voice but with our heart.

To be a priest is an ambassador of the Load, reply to the Hannah with servant's words, pray for them.

Make a vow have to fulfill his vow, otherwise do not make a vow to the Load.

Hannah make a vow the the Load for she know if God remember her, gave her a boy, then it can erase the shame of in her tribe or family.

How?

If I can feel something is shame may encourage us looking for the Load and rely on His almighty is good feedback.

May the Load remember me, pray in my heart rather than speak loudly but without heart.

Return to the Load and pray to the Load

Lamentation 5:1-22

Prayed to the Load for their disgrace.

Our fathers sinned and are no more, and we bear their punishment.

Our hearts are faint, because of these things our eyes grow dim. For Mount Zion, which lies desolate, with jackals prowling over it.

Praying: You ,O Load, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation. Why do you always forsake us so long? Restore us to yourself, O Load, that we may return; renew our days as old unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure.

Why?

After Jesus came we do not bear the punishment of our fathers.

All of the disgrace described by the Load is come truth. His word is truth.

The Load is reign forever, His throne endures from generation to generation, beyond the limit of time. Human is limited by time.

The Load is the king reign forever.

The only way to change such worse situation is return to the Load, ask for the Load let them restore to the Load.

Psalmist still reserve the authority to the Load, "unless you have utterly rejected us", God will not utterly reject us when we return to the Load, His mercy endure forever.

How?

Pray to the Load, my heart must return to the Load, For He is my Load, I am his servant. He has mercy and salvation to us.

Please renew my life, change my mind to be a new created man and more like you.

What are you looking for? It might in vain

Lamentations 4:1-22

Described the Nobles and people of Israelite became poor and pity homeless men.

This is the punishment of my people is greater than that of Sodom.

The Load has given full vent to his wrath; he has poured out his anger. He kindled a fire in Zion that consumed her foundations. It happened because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, who shed within her the blood of the righteous.

Moreover, our eyes failed, looking in vain for help; from our towers we watched for a nation that could not save us.

The cup of Israel has drunk will be passed to the people of Edom, the Load will expose their wickedness. Zion punishment will end; the Load will not prolong their exile.

Why?

All of the event described were happened when Israel was struck by the Load.

The Israelite looking for a tower or nation are the idles and foreign countries that could not help them.

Edom is the brother of Israel, they were joyful for the suffer of Israel, but this pain and disgrace would pass over to them also, and the punishment from the Load will end to Israel, they has hope of salvation.

How?

What I am looking for? It is the mercy of the Load. Did I looking at the wealth and men, I have to commit that I did, I realized that the hope and life is come from the Load almighty. I am looking for the truth and love of the Load, and following his command.

Lamentation 3:25-66 Be quietly sit and lift hands to the Load to pray

Lamentation 3:25-66

It is good to 1)those whose hope is in him, 2)to the one who seeds him, 3)to wait quietly for the salvation of the Load, 4)to bear the yoke while he is young.

Let him sit alone in silence- for the Load has laid it on him,2) let him bury his face in the dust- there may yet be hope, 3)Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, filled with disgrace. For men are not cast off by the Load forever.

To crush underfoot all prisoners in the land, to deny a man his rights before the Most High, to deprive a man of justice- would not the Load see such things?

Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.

Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities man complain when punished for his sins.

Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Load. Let us lift our hearts and our hand to God in heaven and say: We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven.

You came near when I called you, and you said ,"Do not afraid"

Psalmist prayed to the Load pay enemies back what they deserve, for what their hands have done.

When we suffer disgrace or distress what we have to do?

Why?

Bear the yoke while he is young man learn more from the Load and humble him self, do not fall in the pit of death.

When we suffer grief or affliction, let be quiet, and turn to the Load, examine our self and test them, lift our heart and our hands to God- to pray, Our God has unfailing love, He bring grief and he show compassion - Do not afraid.

justice is the Load like to see. He is the real justice and show his compassion.

The Load bring affliction to us let us know who am I and let us humble before Him, and let us could be a good servant before Him and strength our faith.

How?

Be quietly sit and lift hands to the Load to pray, before pray let return my heart to the Load and examine my ways and test them.

Grace and disgrace both are permitted by the Load, He bring affliction and compassion to us.

I won't complain or query anything in my life, I believe everything is handled by the Load, I have to do is examine my self and pray to Him.

Fear the Load

Lamentation 2:1-22

How the Load has covered the Daughter of Zion with the cloud of his anger!

Swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob.

The Load has rejected his altar and abandoned his sanctuary.

My eyes fail from weeping, I am in torment within, my heart is poured out on the ground because my people are destroyed, because children and infants i the streets of the city.

The Lord has done what he planned; he has fulfilled his word, which he decreed long ago.

Look, O Lord, and consider: Whom have you ever treated like this? Should women eat their offspring, the children they have cared for? Should priest and prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Load?

Why?

Under the anger of the Load who can escape ?No one.

All of the sanctuary or priests are meaningless when they were forsake by the Load.

Psalmist was weeping and in torment within for the situation of Israel.

Pray to the Load even under these lament and rejected by the Load, for God is love, his anger is temporary but his mercy is for ever.

How?

Fear the Load for his decree will be fulfilled, He is waiting for our repentant and our heart turn to Him. Remember His mercy and He is the mighty God.

The back of celebration is a story of responsibility of man and the Hands of the Load

Esther 9:1-10:3

On the 13^th day of the 12^th month

But the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them.

The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword. In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed 500 men. They also kill 10 of Haman’s sons. But they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

The king also answered queen let Haman’s sons be hanged on the gallows.

Meanwhile, the remainder of the Jews who were I the king’s provinces also assembled to protect themselves and get relief from their enemies. They killed 75,000 of them.

The Jews in Susa, has assembled on the 13^th and 14^th , and then on the 15^th they rested and made it a day of feasting and joy.

Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces – observe the 14^th 15^th of the month of Adar as the time when the Jews got relief from their enemies.

Queen Esther along with Mordecai wrote with full authority to confirm second letter concerning Purim. Observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor.

Why?

Did not lay their hands on enemies plunder is the Jews struck their enemies were not for their property. It is the war for the righteousness.

Celebrate Purim includes feasting and joy and giving presents of food and give gift to poor, not only rich men joy but also all people rejoice.

How?

Fasting day need fast to pray, joyful day need feasting and joy and take care the poor. Concentrate on the proper time to do the right thing.

The back of this celebration is a story of responsibility of men and the mighty hand done by the Load.

I cannot live to please men but to the Load

Esther 8:1-17

King gave Queen Esther the estate of Haman. And Mordecai came into the presence of the king. The king took off his signet ring which he had reclaimed from Haman and presented it to Mordecai.

Esther again pleaded with the king, she begged he to put an end to the evil plan of Haman the Agagite, which he had devised against the Jews. “How can I bear to see disaster fall on my people? How can I bear to see the destruction of my family?”

The king permitted Mordecai write another decree in the king’s name in behalf of the Jews as seems best to you, and seal it with the king’s signet ring. Then it was done on 23th day of the third month. 2 months later after the edict of killing Jews be issued.

The king’s edict granted the Jews in every city the right to assemble and protect themselves to destroy, kill and annihilate any armed force of any nationality or province that might attack them and their women and children; and plunder the property of their enemies. The day appointed for the Jews to do this in all the provinces of King Xerxes was the 13^th day of the 12th month, the month of the year.

In every province and in every city, wherever the edict of the king went, there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with feasting and celebrating.

Why?

The day of distress became the day of gladness among the Jews. The situation was inversed. Jews in every province had the power to destroy their enemies.

God helped his people avenge their enemies and have salvation to His people.

How?

Prayed and wait for God’s action. Esther and Mordecai did what they can do and there was a mighty hand behind them to help them.

What is the responsibility to do to please the Load? How about my prayer?

I should living in this world like the servant of the Load, I cannot live to please men but to the Load.

No one can ask why?

Esther 7:1-10

So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther, and as they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again asked, ”Queen Esther, what is your petition?”

Esther answered, “If I have found favor with you, O king and if it pleases your majesty, grant me my life- this is my petition. And spare my people—this is my request… Because such distress would justify disturbing the king.”

The adversary and enemy is this vile Haman.

Then Haman was terrified the king and queen.

Just as king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining.

Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the palace?

As soon as the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king said “A gallows 75 feet high stands by Haman’s house, He had it made for Mordecai , who spoke to help king” The king said “ Hand him on it!”

Why?

Esther connected her life with her tribes.

The timing was just as the right time it was happened.

God uses the power of man to let righteousness be done on the world.

How?

Everything looks so match or so unbelievable, but it is always happened in the right time, some is delight t man some is troubled peoples. There is a mighty hand behind it. No one can ask why? Just follow the instruction of the Load and obey his commandments. For my portion is in His hand

prayer, behavior of the good spiritual fruits

Esther 6:1-14
