"Overruled!" The Trivial Actions that Change Destiny

College Drive Assembly, Colby, KS

Today, we are told how Mordecai uncovered a plot to assassinate King Xerxes. He warned Queen Esther, who then passed the information on to King Xerxes. We note two important truths: First, the trivial matter of Esther obeying her older cousin. Second, the trivial action of Loyalty to King Xerxes by both. Both obedience and loyalty are character traits that still are held in high regard today. Today, we see the Sovereignty of God "overrule" the plans of men.
