Esther 4:9-17
Esther at first time thought she can not speak to the king for she was not been called to go to the king for 30 days.
Mordicai said if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your family will perish And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?
Esther reply Go together all Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat and drink for 3 days, night and day. I and my maids will fast as you do. I will go to the king after this is done, even it is against the laws. And if I perish, I perish.
Why?
People usually will afraid when danger is coming. Encouragement and reminder are needed to inspire the spirit.
Esther pray and fast first and asked all Jews in Susa do it for her, pray for God’s mercy.
She would like to sacrifice her life if happen. She has decided to do it. When do not afraid to perish, then the brave to come out.
How?
Where is my brave, what is I have to do? Who knows but that I have come to here for such a time as this.
