Queen Esther Saves Her People Esther was an Israelite who had become queen of Persia. When Esther heard that her people were in trouble, she risked her life by approaching the king uninvited. Esther trusted God and asked the king to save her people. The king was happy to see her and held out his scepter toward her. This meant that he would grant her what she asked. The people of Israel were saved.

Esther 5:2

God’s People Rejoice The Psalms were written as prayers to God. They show us what God is like. Psalm 23 is written

by King David and tells us that God cares for us always; that He never leaves us but blesses us with everything good.

The Book of Psalms

The Fiery Furnace The Babylonian King was mad because Daniel’s friends refused to worship anything else than the true God of Israel. The king had them thrown into a furnace. But Daniel’s friends were not harmed by the fire.

They walked around in the furnace with another person who looked like an angel.

God had sent the angel to save them from the flames. .

Daniel 3:25

Daniel in the Lions’ Den Daniel was a righteous man, but his enemies hated him and decided to set up a trap for him. They flattered the king and a law was made that everybody must pray to the king instead of God. Otherwise they would be thrown into the lions’ den.

One day Daniel’s enemies caught him praying to God and had him thrown into the lions’ den. But God sent His angel to be with Daniel so the lions wouldn’t hurt him.

Daniel 6:23

Jonah and the Big Fish The people of Nineveh were very evil. God told Jonah to go there and tell them to turn to Him. But Jonah was afraid and sailed away to hide from God. God sent a storm and Jonah was thrown into the sea.

A big fish swallowed him and spat him out on the beach.

Then Jonah went to Nineveh. The people listened to him and stopped doing evil things.
