Esther
“For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope”. Jer 29:11Throughout the Bible we encounter story after story where God uses many different people from different cultures, ages, races, and of different economic status to carry out his plans for the world. One of these characters is a young Jewish woman named Esther, who becomes Queen of Susa. There is not much written about Esther before she was taken to the Kings palace.

God designed her for the plan and would see that she was able to carry it out. We should each consider why God has put us where we are at the moment, and what his plan for us is. When an opportunity to serve God arises, we must make sure that we do not let it go; for God entrusted us with it that we might accomplish the plan that he has in store. As Esther entered the King’s court she was showing unbelievable courage. Esther not only shows favor in the eyes of the King, but she is granted anything she wants within one half of the kingdom. At this time, once again we see Esther’s loyalty to her cousin and her people. She could ask for whatever she wanted and
