While doing so we cheer the names of Esther and her uncle Mordechi; and we make a lot of noise at- tempting to drown out the name of Haman whenever it comes up in the story. Purim is a time when our sorrow is turned into joy as we celebrate that through the courage of Queen Esther the Lord over- turned the decree of evil to annihilate the Jews and allowed them to defend themselves against the enemies of G-d’s chosen people. Unfortunately, history is repeating itself and the spirit of the wicked Haman is once again raising up its ugly head, as we are wit- nessing the rise of anti-Semitism and the proclamation of intent to wipe G-d’s people from the face of the earth. But I choose to be- lieve that Adonai will rescue His people again and bring them home to Israel. Who will stand against this evil – Benjamin Netanyahu – YOU? Queen Esther is a wonderful example of an intercessor, lay- ing down her life for the salvation of the Jewish people. Who knows – if YOU have come into the Kingdom – “FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS?” PRAYER THOUGHT: Lord Jesus, take my mind, my hands, my whole being. Come and dwell with me – come and dwell in me – and make me a blessing for Your glory for such a time as this . . .
