Esther: for such a time as this

I often use this verse from Proverbs 21:1: “The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.” It is one of many passages that confirm God’s sovereignty over even the world’s most powerful rulers. Scripture makes clear that no one can thwart his divine plan (Job 42:2; Isa. 14:27).
