Esther chapter 1 verse 12, but Queen Vashti refused to come at the King's command,

delivered by the Unix.

At this the King became enraged, and his anger burned within him.

And thus the first domino falls in the book of Esther, Without going into all the details about the context here

and what's to come in the book of Esther from here, this moment eventually leads

to Esther becoming Queen, which eventually leads to the

salvation and deliverance of God's people from decreed annihilation by the king.

And it all starts with something

where Esther's not even involved.

And as I read this I just think about God's sovereignty over

all the details in the world in ways that affect our lives in which you and I are not even involved.

Like God is working in so many different ways, millions, trillions of ways that we don't see.

Just think about that.

I think about details like how I met my wife

and all the different things that were going on in her life and her family's life that led

her to visit the church I was a part of with a friend of hers that led her to go to a summer camp where we first togs and I'm not

going to bore you with the whole story but so many details that were totally

out of my control, that were totally unknown to me that God was working in to lead

me to my wife or so many other things in my life and in your life.

And so today I just want to encourage you

to trust God with the details, not just of your life,
