PURIM DEVOTIONAL #2 Deliverance is the Lord's work
Theme:
God delivers people who cannot deliver themselves; He works even when unseen.
Read
• Esther 5:1–8 — Esther steps forward; God opens a door
• Psalm 124 — “If the Lord had not been on our side…”
• Exodus 14:10–14, 21–31 — “Stand still”; the Lord fights
• 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 — Pulling down strongholds
Devotional Thought
Many of us are exhausted because we’re trying to manage what only God can break. Deliverance isn’t willpower; it is warfare with worship, truth, surrender, and steadfast prayer. Purim celebrates a God who can reverse decrees. He still does. Faith is not reckless; faith is obedient—taking the step He assigns while trusting Him for what we cannot do.
Reflect
• What stronghold keeps trying to rename my identity (shame, lust, bitterness, hopelessness, fear)? • Where do I need to “stand still” (stop striving) and where do I need to “step forward” (obey)? • If God reversed one thing in my life, what would it be?
Pray (guided)
• Personal deliverance: Lord, tear down every stronghold. Free me from patterns I cannot break. • Clarity & courage: Give me Esther’s boldness and Joseph’s wisdom.
• Hidden providence: Even when I can’t see You, I trust You are working.
Act of Obedience (today)
Begin intercession for Iran: pray mercy for the suffering, restraint on violence, and protection for detainees and families.
