Grace and Favour

by -
Esther  2:17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

Esther's story unfolds in a kingdom where favour seems elusive, yet, in the divine economy, grace is always at work. Esther, an ordinary woman, found herself in the extraordinary position of being chosen as queen. It wasn't merely chance; it was a manifestation of God's grace and favour.

Grace, an unmerited favour, reflects God's boundless love for us. In Esther's life, we witness grace as the invisible hand guiding her steps. Her humility, courage, and virtue were qualities that caught the king's attention but were ultimately gifts from God.

Favour, on the other hand, is the approval, support, or kindness shown to someone. Esther's favour with the king was a testament to God's orchestration of events. It wasn't just about Esther's outward beauty but the beauty of her character and the purpose God had for her in the kingdom.

As we continue to live our life as children of God, we must recognize that our lives are also woven with threads of grace and favour. In times of challenges, when the odds seem against us, God's grace sustains us. When doors open, and opportunities arise, it is often the favour of God leading us into His divine plan.

Moreover, Esther's journey reminds us that God's grace and favour are not exclusive to the extraordinary. In our ordinary lives, God weaves extraordinary stories. Our task is to trust, obey, and embrace the path He sets before us, knowing that His grace and favour go before us.

In conclusion, let us seek to cultivate hearts that reflect the humility, courage, and virtue found in Esther. As we navigate life's twists and turns, may we trust in the unmerited favour of God's grace, knowing that, like Esther, we are part of a divine plan where His love is woven into every of our path.

God bless you.
