I am reading the book of Esther in my daily Bible reading, and it so happens that the Jewish holy day of Purim will be celebrated this coming Sunday. (That's a little "God-incidence," wouldn't you say?) Today in chapter nine I noticed something that puts to rest the age-old accusation that Jews are greedy! When the Jews defeated their enemies by order of King Ahasuerus after Esther had pleaded for their lives, the Jews did not lay a hand on the plunder! Read it for yourself in Chapter Nine of the Book of Esther. The whole story is very interesting. In making application to our personal lives we can meditate on the fact that Esther was chosen by God "for such a time as this," and He has chosen us "for such a time as this" today!
