“For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise
– Esther 4:14 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)
for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish.
And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom
for such a time as this and for this very occasion?”
God always asks us to elevate our perspective by diving full-heartedly into this relationship with Jesus Christ, the basis and the crux of our faith. As we get to better know His voice, heart, and mind, and as we accept His free gift of the Holy Spirit, a heart made of flesh, and the mind of Christ, we can move in alignment with God’s Spirit and do His perfect will on Earth.
Looking at the book of Esther in the Bible, we see a narrative of redemption of a woman who was overlooked and abandoned early on in her life. Esther, a Jewish woman originally named Hadassah, was living in the Persian Kingdom of that time, where her people, the Jews, were living as an exiled minority group in a godless nation. Her status as an orphan, a woman, and a Jew during that time period meant that the markers of her identity made her have the status of being an undesirable woman. From a young age, she was forced to hide the origin of part of herself to fit the society she didn’t choose to be born into, but God ordained her to be there. Esther’s journey from exile to royalty reflects the journey we take from being orphaned outside of Jesus to becoming a daughter/son of the King and being dressed in His righteousness. Outside of God,
were treated as if God is not a respecter of persons, but a respecter of calling and purpose, and that He has created and destined every individual to be part of bringing Heaven to Earth.
