This weekend I'm preaching on the Book of Esther. This book of the Bible was controversial; there was debate about whether or not to include it in the Bible. God is not mentioned in the book, and there is not much traditional Jewish piety to be found. But really the Book of Esther gives is a great gift in showing us that God is at work all the time in every situation whether mentioned or not. God works through our hero Esther and she is able to save the Jewish people living under the rule of the Persian King Ahasuerus.
God works through all of us. When we are aware of God and giving thanks to God for all that God has done and does do for us, we are worshipping God in everyday life. And as is said in the letter to the Ephesians: "Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine..." Ephesians 3:20
Imagine what God is doing in your life and through your life.
