Esther 1-5
When Esther approached the king, she knew that there was a high degree of probability that she would be executed. However, her cause was great and she was willing to sacrifice her life for her people. Such bravery seems uncommon in one so young. Yet, God had chosen her for this very purpose. Had she not taken up the mantle many would have died. We are not often called upon to risk our lives. But, we are given the charge to take up every opportunity to promote the gospel. In order to fulfill this undertaking we expose ourselves to ridicule, shame, and rejection. None of these feel good. However, I would much rather face the shame of my fellow man, than to be ashamed before my Lord! Have you willingly exposed yourself to persecution for the cause of Christ? If not, won’t you start today?
