A sermon on Proverbs 2
In Esther 6, God's providence works through the ordinary insomnia of a pagan king and the quiet faithfulness of Mordecai to reverse Haman's plot, showing that God does not forget the oppression of his people; especially those who prey on the vulnerable; and repays it in his own time, often through simple, unremarkable means rather than dramatic miracles.
