Divine Reversals

Scripture:

Esther 8:15 "The Mordecai left the king's presence, wearing the royal robe of blue and white, the great crown of gold, and an outer cloak of fine linen and purple. And the people of Susa celebrated the decree".

Observation:

God is the God of divine reversals. He can turn any situation around when his people fast and pray. Here, Mordecai was suppose to be impaled, but his enemy ended up being impaled and his enemy's royal position was given to Mordecai. He went from being on death row to being one of the most powerful people in the land. This is how God works on behalf of His people when they seek His face and call on His name.

Application:

Sometimes we spend too much time worrying about what could happen instead of fasting and praying and asking God to turn things around. If God is our father and we truly believe He will take care of us, why do we stress and worry? He is truly in control! Seek the Lord while He may be found. Cry out to Him, He is near to those who call out to Him. Divine reversals still happen today for those who seek the Lord with fasting and prayer.

Prayer:

Lord, You are my Father and my God. I look to You as my healer, deliverer, friend, and the one who knows my situations. You are the God of divine reversals! I ask you to turn some things around in my life. Turn WOL around and let it begin to grow. Let us impact our region for eternity. Let there be breakthroughs in every area. Let the lost find Christ and let this region see a revival of unprecedented proportions. You are able, help me believe.
