Hey, welcome to the Daily Drive. My name is Mike Bro, and we are here Monday through Friday trying to

stick a little hope, a little faith, little joy, a little courage, little truth in our hearts. And man, I am so grateful for all of you who listen. I pray for

you every day. And we have been binge watching a series together called Esther. And it's not Netflix,

Prime or Apple TV original. It's from the Old Testament of the Bible. And one of the coolest,

most inspiring stories you'll ever hear. If you missed any of it,

please go back, take a listen. It is such a great story with intrigue and unexpected outcomes and

incredible heroes. And today we wrap it up with the final episode, episode eight, undercover boss.

On the same day that the evil Haman meets his demise, the king gives Esther all of Haman's estate and Esther places Mordecai over it.

Because the king had already signed the edict against the Jews, he could not revoke it.

So he has Mordecai issue a new decree that was again translated and sent out to all the provinces,

and the headline read, on March 7th, Jews in every city had the right to assemble and protect themselves, to destroy and kill any armed force nationality or province that might attack them.

This says chapter 9, verse 1. So on March 7th, the two decrees of the king were put into effect. On that day, the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but quite the opposite

happened.

It was the Jews who overpowered their enemies.

Now recall it episode 8, undercover boss, because while both Mordecai and Esther display

some unbelievable courage and leadership, the architect

of this whole thing is totally undercover, totally behind the scenes.
