God reveals His plan for our lives through His Word and by providentially arranging circumstances in our lives.
Understanding God's plan often involves discerning His providential arrangements in our lives, much like how Esther was placed in a pivotal role. In Esther's story, Mordecai points out that maybe she became queen 'for such a time as this' (Esther 4:14), highlighting that God positions individuals for His purposes. Similarly, Christians are called to recognize the events and relationships in their lives as part of God's grand design. The clarity of Scripture, prayer, and faithful counsel from mature believers are instrumental in understanding how God is guiding us. The providential workings of God often show us the path He intends for us when we reflect on how He has orchestrated our past experiences.
