Esther - For Such A Time As This?

Esther was raised up by God when she was needed - 'for such a time as this'.

A challenge and an encouragement for us in our own Christian service today.

'Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?' Esther 4:13-14
