Esther was called on to risk it all for the sake of others. Overcame her reluctance – fear of death – by placing her faith in God. Though she did not know it going into it, there was a great reward that came from the risk she took… but it wasn’t a risk at all.
As we study the story of Esther in chapters 5-7, we are going to see that pride goes before destruction, God’s providence overrules in the kingdoms of men as well as individual lives, and the great value of taking action.
