Esther and Mordecia had a plan

Esther ch 4

When Esther got word that her adopted father was wearing sackcloth and ashes, and crying out to  Lord in the city and at the kings gate, about the bad news he heard was coming to him and his people Mordecia and Esther had a plan. After Mordecia asked the assistant to go back and tell Esther that maybe she was put in her position for such a time as this!!

Queen Esther at the time was not supposed to see her husband for 30 days, and if she went in before that time she could be killed, unless he accepted her by his sceptre. Which we find out that when she came unto him in her queen apparel, and bowed before him she was accepted.

 Have you ever been faced with such a challenging decision in your life where you feel like it may cost you your life?

Esther shows us that she was willing to lay down her life to save not only her adopted father, but a entire nation. What or Who are you willing to lay your life down for? Your Child, Your Marriage, Your Family? What kind of courage is this?

Through prayer and fasting, Esther was willing to sacrifice her life, does this sound familiar?
Who else does this sound like? Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who was sinless and laid down his life for us that were sinners, lost, on are way to hell...!

Through Queen Esther's testimony, she shows us that no matter what you may go thru in life, no matter what you may lose, you still have the right to become something great, when you allow God to come into your life, and you follow his directions.Esther did not allow her parents death keep her from being something great, she didn't allow being an orphan stop her from obeying her cousin's direction, she didn't let the other women intimidate her from preparing herself to become the Queen of Persia, she still had love and confidence in God!! Who is your confidence in??
