The book of Esther tells how a Jewish young woman becomes the queen of Persia and saves her people from a plot to destroy them. She is assisted in this by Mordecai, her cousin and guardian. But her ascendancy from obscurity to royalty is not coincidental. She is born, prepared, and supported for “such a time as this.” Scriptures referenced include Esther 4:13-17; Esther 7:3-6; Jeremiah 29:11; Proverbs 16:4; Ephesians 2:10; and 1 Peter 2:9.
