The unique thing observed about the book of Esther is that God’s name is never mentioned yet we see God’s providence in the big picture of the story. We notice that the sum of all actions show a God who is active.

But we’ll notice that it’s a little harder to see God in the moments He’s not explicitly mentioned. It’s the same in our lives… we can look back over the course of 10 years and see the goodness of God, it’s harder to stop in the middle of a Thursday afternoon and discern God’s presence in that moment.

In this morning’s moment we’ll observe how man’s power, plans and perspective when used for self seeking pleasure will be shown as absurd.
