Faith of Esther (Regardless of the consequences)

Think of the faith of Queen Esther. She was willing to do what was right, and trust in God, regardless of the consequences. As a Jew in exile in Persia, she had recently replaced Vashti as Queen, noticed by the king for her beauty. As a plot was uncovered to slay the Jews, her uncle Mordecai told her... For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, ..... 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 4:14 Esther couldn't just walk into the kings court uninvited-for she could face death. All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days. Esther 4:11 But Esther, in her faith, boldly went before the king. Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, .... and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish. Esther 4:16 You know the ending.... And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, ... and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. Esther 5:2 Paul tells us why these things of the Old Testament happened- Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 1 Corinthians 10:11

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16
