FAITH CAPSULE: The visitation of God, redemption, and resurrection is the miracle of the third.

Esther 5

Exodus 19:10-11 records, “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.” 
The third day was the time of God to visit His people. 
Something about the third has to do with the time of visitation, redemption, and resurrection by God.
The life of Moses, Esther, and Jesus Christ of Nazareth testify to the miracle of the time at the third. 
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever and He will answer with the manifestation of the third miracle of the time. 
The time of the third over the life of Moses: 
When Moses was born, the pronouncement of the death penalty for every son born by Hebrew women was in effect. 
As a result, the mother of Moses decided to hide him. 
The mother of Moses, “…Hid him for three months.” (Exodus 2:2) 
When Moses was out of hiding in the third month, he ended up in the compassionate care of the palace, where his murderer became a law.
The of mother Moses, “… took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.” (Exodus 2:3) 
In the third month, the daughter of Moses saw the ark of bulrushes at the bank of the river, and when she opened it, “…She saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children” (Exodus 2:6) 
The coming out of an ark of bulrushes into the palace of Moses was his time for his redemption.
The time of the third over the life of Esther:
The favor that brought deliverance for Mordecai and the Israelites in the hand of the wicked Harman began on the third day as Esther stepped on the court of King Ahasuerus.
Esther 5:1-2 records, “Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace, across from the king’s house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house. So it was when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand…”  The favor gained on the third answered for the deliverance of Mordecai and the Israelites.
The time of the third with Jesus:
Jesus does nothing by accident to have taken the third day as the resurrection time. 
The time of the third is a miracle.
Claim the miracle of the third, remind God as stated in Isaiah 43:26, “Put me in remembrance; let us contend together; state your case that you may be acquitted.” 
God is not partial but will attend to your case.

Prayer for today: Ask that God give you the miracle of the third.
