The book of Esther is a remarkable story of faith, courage, and God’s providence. Though God’s name is not mentioned explicitly, His hand is evident throughout the narrative. Esther’s faith and willingness to step into danger for the sake of her people remind us that God often works behind the scenes, orchestrating events for His purposes.
Esther 4:14 says, “And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” (NIV). This moment highlights that faith calls us to act boldly, trusting that God has placed us where we are for a reason, even when the outcome is uncertain.
From the book of Esther, we learn to trust in God’s unseen work and to have the courage to step into His plans. Her story inspires us to act in faith, knowing that He equips us for the roles He calls us to.
