ESTHER - THE STAR AND THE SCEPTRE

"To All Women"
Esther, this woman of God whose name means - "star"
Knew her strength came from her Heavenly Father,
This Jewish orphaned child raised by her uncle Mordecai
He knew Esther's blessings came from up-high

God called her to rescue her troubled people
From Haman's conspiracy to do them evil,
Only God can place an orphan child in a Royal Kingdom
To save her people, and grant them justice and freedom

Esther could never have imagined or even dream
This Elohim would make her King Anasuerus' Queen,
Of the many women who went through the King's selection plight
She, and She alone, Esther, found favor in the King's sight

She went to the King, the most powerful man
Queen Esther pleaded for her people, with her life in God's hand,
She explained Haman's plan of labyrinth slaughter
And expounded his intent to annihilate and devour

Queen Esther's people saved, proves God moves in mysterious ways
And El Shaddai also moves in mundane days,
Yahweh acts in unusual ways
Jehovah Jira moves on eventful days...

Author's Comments:
"The Almighty can use a small child, a grown man or woman, just as he used Esther, to carry out his sovereign plan, bringing good out of evil. Imagine, against all odds, an orphaned Jewish girl, became Queen, placating Haman's evil intent to destroy Esther's people. I would like to summarize Esther's story for those who are not familiar with it. Haman was prejudiced against the Jewish people. Earning the King's trust through duplicity, he used the King's power to plan the most egregious machination on humanity, to eradicate these people, whom he hated. Esther's modesty and authenticity in the midst of extreme extravagance and her complete trust in God saved her people. [I would like to encourage my daughters and all women, irrespective of age, creed or race, to know, that in God's world, 'you have an equal place'."
