By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba
Esther 2:5-7
Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;Ā 6Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.Ā 7And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.Ā
Psalm 68:5-6
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.Ā 6God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.Ā
Esther 4:13-17
Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.Ā 14For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?Ā 15Ā¶Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,Ā 16Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.Ā 17So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
Psalm 50:15
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Esther 7:9-10
And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.Ā 10So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
Obadiah 1:15
For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
Esther 8:15-16
And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.Ā 16The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.Ā
Psalm 30:10-12
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.Ā 11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;Ā 12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
