📖 Book of Esther - Esther was queen — but she was also Jewish. When a decree was issued to destroy her people, she faced an impossible choice. Stay silent and remain safe. Or speak and risk death. Her cousin Mordecai sent her a message: “Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther fasted. She prayed. And then she walked into the throne room — uninvited. One step could cost her life. But the king extended the golden scepter. Her courage changed history. God’s name is never mentioned in this book — yet His providence is everywhere.
