When Mordecai learned of the plot, he reported it to Queen Esther, and she told the king on Mordecai’s behalf.
‘Yet you concealed these thoughts in your heart; I know that this was your hidden plan:
Do you listen in on the council of God, or have a monopoly on wisdom?
He will certainly accomplish what he has decreed for me, and he has many more things like these in mind.
These are but the fringes of his ways; how faint is the word we hear of him! Who can understand his mighty thunder?
Why do you take him to court for not answering anything a person asks?
Teach us what we should say to him; we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.
The Almighty #– #we cannot reach him – he is exalted in power! He will not violate justice and abundant righteousness,
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to investigate a matter.
As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings cannot be investigated.
He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but no one can discover the work God has done from beginning to end.
I observed all the work of God and concluded that a person is unable to discover the work that is done under the sun. Even though a person labours hard to explore it, he cannot find it; even if a wise person claims to know it, he is unable to discover it.
This also comes from the Lord of Armies. He gives wondrous advice; he gives great wisdom.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the whole earth. He never becomes faint or weary; there is no limit to his understanding.
All the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing, and he does what he wants with the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth. There is no one who can block his hand or say to him, ‘What have you done? ’
Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognising that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
And what if he did this to make known the riches of his glory on objects of mercy that he prepared beforehand for glory #– #
Now God has revealed these things to us by the Spirit, since the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
so that in the coming ages he might display the immeasurable riches of his grace through his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
This is so that God’s multi-faceted wisdom may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens.
I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power in your inner being through his Spirit,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love,
This grace was given to me #– #the least of all the saints #– #to proclaim to the Gentiles the incalculable riches of Christ,
God wanted to make known among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
