It is intended to be applied to the days in which we live. \nThis is such a great book. It is the only book in the Bible in which the name of God is not mentioned, and yet he is everywhere in the events that unfold. It is the story of God’s sovereign protection of His people in difficult times.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/20508345/IMG-20240710-WA0003.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/20508345/IMG-20240710-WA0003_1200x628.jpg?s=f32a4f9b3e2203238bbbc56a30703183&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://estherpodcast.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/estherpodcast/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-sxiia-138eeb9?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":6,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":false,"showLike":false,"author":"estherpodcast","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-sxiia-138eeb9-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-sxiia-138eeb9?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#428200"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
