We are at the end of Chapter 2. We have been introduced to a host of characters, with more to come. At this point every week, it's very difficult for me to condense a 5-day lesson into one blog. The common denominator in each lesson is obviously Esther.
In each lesson we continue to see that her character never changes. We've considered her people skills, her manners, her compliance, her modesty and now her ability to follow instructions. Just think how much better off most of us would be if we would swallow our pride and follow the directions of the people around us.
Esther's character also comes to light when she finds out there is a plot to kill Xerxes. Initially, she may not have been put in this position voluntarily, but she chooses to honor the position and do everything in her power to save the king. We can learn from her example. We may be going through something in our lives that we didn't bargain for. No matter what it is, we should do our best to let Christ shine through us during any situation we may find ourselves involved in.
Join me next week as we uncover a twist in the story!
