Esther 1 : God’s Sovereignty and Provision
The Book of Esther is the only book in the Bible where the name God or Lord is not mentioned at all.
The two underlying themes of Esther are God’s sovereignty and provision, where God works behind the scenes, orchestrating the circumstances according to His sovereignty.
Queen Vashti refused to respond to the King’s beckoning.
Husbands and wives…submit to each other.
Husbands…LOVE your wife.
The only way you can love each other deeply, in the way God intended, is by the power of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Read Scripture: Esther as told by The Bible Project
A classic story of good versus evil, the Book of Esther is a unique account in the Bible. It gives us a glimpse of the Jews who remained outside their homeland after the Exile, particularly the Jews living in the Persian Empire. Here we see that the author chose a fascinating literary choice – never once is God mentioned in the entire Book. This behind-the-scenes take of God at work is brilliantly displayed throughout Esther’s chapters through “coincidences” and “happen chances” that help to save the Jews from Haman’s wicked plot to destroy them.
