Turning the Tables

 Esther 9-10; Luke 19 

“…On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them.”

Esther 9:1

Why had the “tables turned” for the Jews?

They had been more than delivered; they had been given authority in the many regions of the Persian Empire. Esther and Mordecai had appealed to the King of kings through fasting and prayer. God’s hand had turned the tables and turned the heart of the king of Persia.

Does God still turn the tables today on behalf of those who humble themselves and cry out to him?

The persecuted church among the Muslim peoples and in communist/totalitarian-controlled countries is crying out to God for deliverance and peace.

Will we, with them, cry out to the Lord for a ‘breakthrough’?

Only God’s hands are big enough to turn the tables.

“Lord Jesus, deliver your people who are living under the sentence of death in North Korea, China, Laos, and the Gulf states. You are our Deliverer and Savior.”
