The king's heart is in the hand of Jehovah
Gregory BishopWhen the sisters asked me to bring a meditation, the book of Esther and the life of Esther, Queen Esther, came to mind. The connection that I make in my mind is the fact that in Esther's book there is a dynamic where politics and government events are flowing in a specific direction. But at the moment another parallel dynamic is also emerging, and that is the dynamic of the spirit and of prayer.
Actually, the entire book of Esther, which I invite you to read if you haven't read it, is a chronicle of how prayer and spiritual processes prevail over human processes and governmental processes. And that's why we're here tonight, because we believe that God is more powerful than any direction that men want to give to the affairs of government.
