Destroy, Kill, Annihilate

I am doing a Beth Moore study on Esther. We are now to the part where King Xerxes and Haman issue the decree for all the Jews to be annihilated on a certain day. May I share with you a few words from Beth Moore regarding this? It addressed so many concerns floating around in my head (our adoption, my precious neighbor waiting to get an appointment at Mayo's, my sweet friend anxiously awaiting the birth of her overdue baby, having to wait until July 14th for our daughter's test results) and was so encouraged.

"A little while ago I ended my morning quiet time and set aside a prayer journal filled with a concoction of thanksgivings and pleadings. I thanked God for some miracles I knew He'd performed and begged Him for several more. Just like you, I have a list of people I'm praying for who are battling cancer. Other who desperately need deliverance. Others who have stunningly received it and propel me to practically break out in a praise-dance.

I don't know exactly how God perfects plans that seem so bleak to us in process, but these two things I know: He never takes His eyes off of us or off the clock ticking over us. I am praying right now that the lesson we have before us greatly encourages you to believe both of those things today.

Sweet One, God loves you so. He is hard at work in your life, and the same eye that's on the sparrow is on the wristwatch."

I'm not sure if you can follow the connection to this next thought since I am skipping all the material between, but the closed the lesson with the following statements:

"Sometimes God uses the winds of a new threat to blow the dust off a past miracle that has moved from our active file into the archives (The decree was announced on the first day of their Passover when they would be remember their rescue in Egypt). Dear One, He who delivered you from a Pharaoh can deliver you from any Haman. Remember who you are (we are His Beloved.)"
