Queen Esther’s Suffering

By Apostle Tonya

And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncles’ 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. Esther 2:7

Thy Lord prepared young Hadassah to become Queen Esther early on in suffering. In the loss of Hadassah’s parents her cousin, Mordecai suddenly became her guardian. Surely, we can perceive the young girl, Hadassah was raised by a man of faith and early in his adoption of her Mordecai was perhaps led by thy Lord to begin to train Hadassah to become the queen.

As we read in the Book of Esther of the bravery of Mordecai, we might imagine of his careful nurturing, worshipping thy Holy One of Israel, praying, and training the future queen to walk lowly in her faith-filled shoes into the heart of the king. And, it might most certainly be that Mordecai and Esther lives in the spirit well-prepared the future queen for her Divine Assignment in the Royal Palace to save the Jews.

Beloved, let us be encouraged in our suffering seasons and know Jesus, the Potter is molding us, His Sons and Daughters in what are ofttimes strategic and prophetic seasons to serve Him for His blessed glory. Amen.
