Esther
“𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞 𝙰𝚛𝚝 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚎 … 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚂𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚊 𝚃𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚊𝚜 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜”

Many events in the book of Esther might seem like luck or coincidence.

How else do you explain how an orphaned Jewish girl became the queen of Persia at just the right time to save her people from being slaughtered?

What are the chances that Esther’s cousin Mordecai would just happen to overhear a plot to assassinate the king?

Were these coincidences, or were they part of a divine plan?

Elder Ronald A. Rasband noted: “What may appear to be a random chance is, in fact, overseen by a loving Father in Heaven. … The Lord is in the small details of our lives” (“By Divine Design,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2017, 56).

We may not always recognize the Lord’s influence in these “small details.” But we learn from Esther’s experience that He can guide our path and prepare us “for such a time” (Esther 4:14) when we can be instruments in His hands to fulfill His purposes.
