The God Who Works Behind the Scenes<\/a><\/h3>
April 30, 2026<\/div>

Many of us struggle right here. We believe God is real\u2014but when life feels chaotic, when circumstances don\u2019t make sense, and when God seems silent, we start to wonder: Is He really at work in my life? If you\u2019ve ever felt like God is distant, inactive, or hard to see, then this book is for you.\n\nAnd that\u2019s exactly what the book of Esther helps us see, that even when God seems hidden, He is not absent. He is working behind the scenes.\n\nIn the book of Esther, the author showed God\u2019s people living in exile under the Persian King Ahasuerus that the Lord was providentially working behind the scenes to accomplish His purposes for His people<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
