Esther 8:16 For the Jews there was light and gladness and joy and honor.
You may feel like you are continuously under attack. You go through one battle victorously and soon you are facing the enemy again. God's people have fought battles since the beginning of the human race. The Jews in Esther's time were facing one of their most hateful enemies in Haman. Without the Lord's and the king's intervention, he would have succeeded. However, he ended up on the very gallows that he had built for Mordecai. Adonai, who is love, is also a just God and as you remain in faith, He will bring justice to you, as well.
In looking up the word Jew, you will find "mankind" as a definition. The Jews were God's chosen people; you might even surmise that Adam was a Jew, according to this definition. The Lord intended them to be great champions, but one cannot become a champion unless he faces and defeats others. For this reason, the Jews and you, as well, face enemies. The Lord wants you to discover the champion that He has created you to be.
What can you expect after the battle? The first thing you will see is light and everything will brighten up, for the darkness has been overcome. You will shine and become bright like the light of day. The sun, moon, and stars will not be able outshine you.
The next thing that you will experience after the battle is mirth. gladness and joy. You will have pleasure to replace your sufferring. You will not be able to contain your exultation and will freely rejoice.
Thirdly, you will know your value and preciousness to the Lord, who always causes you to triumph. He honors and esteems you, whether in the battle or in the victory. He paid a great price for you and will not allow the enemy to destroy you.
