Lucky. Lucky. (un)Lucky. | Esther 2-3

Some people just seem to be born lucky. And some people don't. Everything seemed to be falling into place for Esther and Mordecai. She "just happened" to be in the right place at the right time — and became queen. He "just happened" to overhear an assassination plot and saved the king's life.
Lucky. Lucky. Lucky. Until it wasn't.
Old wounds resurface. Old enemies reappear. And with the roll of the dice, God's People suddenly find themselves powerless to stop what's coming. Which raises a question that might sound familiar. And might make you uncomfortable.
If you've forgotten God, will He forget you too?
