Esther

Esther’s story is one of quiet courage that turned into bold faith. A young Jewish woman, orphaned and raised by her cousin Mordecai, Esther is chosen to be queen in a foreign land. At first, her position seems like chance—but God was already writing a bigger story. When her people faced annihilation, Esther wrestled with fear and uncertainty. Yet, she stepped forward with the words, “If I perish, I perish.”

Her faith was not loud or flashy—it was tested in silence, in fasting, and in the risk of walking into the king’s presence uninvited. Esther reminds us that heroism in faith often looks like obedience in the face of fear, and that God can use ordinary people in extraordinary ways. She shows us that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to speak up, trust God with the outcome, and believe that you were placed “for such a time as this.”  #Leadership #GlobalMethodistChurch #Wesleyan #Unofficial
