Though it’s the only book in the Bible that never mentions God, Esther conveys events with such perfect literary symmetry that a profound theological point is made: God’s providence is at work in everything on behalf of his people.
In this chapter, Solomon remembers that God is trustworthy in all seasons of life. We are urged to look to Him in seasons of difficulty and joy and to live wisely.
Having more of anything – wealth, control, or power – fails to satisfy. Solomon points to the only thing that can bring true satisfaction: enjoying God and trusting Him with every aspect of life.
