PASSAGE:
   And letters were sent by special messengers to all the king's provinces--to destroy, to slay, and to do away with all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to seize their belongings as spoil.
   A copy of the writing was to be published and given out as a decree in every province to all the peoples to be ready for that day.
   The special messengers went out in haste by order of the king, and the decree was given out in Shushan, the capital. And the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was perplexed [at the strange and alarming decree].
   NOW WHEN Mordecai learned all that was done, [he] rent his clothes and put on sackcloth with ashes and went out into the midst of the city and cried with a loud and bitter cry.
   He came and stood before the king's gate, for no one might enter the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
   And in every province, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping, and wailing, and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
   When Esther's maids and her attendants came and told it to her, the queen was exceedingly grieved and distressed. She sent garments to clothe Mordecai, with orders to take his sackcloth from off him, but he would not receive them.
   Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's attendants whom he had appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what this was and why it was.
   So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the open square of the city, which was in front of the king's gate.
   And Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews to be destroyed.
   [Mordecai] also gave him a copy of the decree to destroy them, that was given out in Shushan, that he might show it to Esther, explain it to her, and charge her to go to the king, make supplication to him, and plead with him for the lives of her people.
   And Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
   Then Esther spoke to Hathach and gave him a message for Mordecai, saying,
   All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that any person, be it man or woman, who shall go into the inner court to the king without being called shall be put to death; there is but one law for him, except [him] to whom the king shall hold out the golden scepter, that he may live. But I have not been called to come to the king for these thirty days.
   And they told Mordecai what Esther said.
   Then Mordecai told them to return this answer to Esther, Do not flatter yourself that you shall escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews.
   For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?
   Then Esther told them to give this answer to Mordecai,
   Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast for me; and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I also and my maids will fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.
   So Mordecai went away and did all that Esther had commanded him.
( Esther 3:13-4:17 )

   Effective service almost always comes by assignment rather than choice. When my husband and I accompanied our college mission team to East Africa, we suspected that many of our tasks would be lowly, but we assumed that our ministry would be primarily spiritual. Once there, I was needed to prepare meal for the students, and my husband was enlisted to assist the medical team in dispensing medications to patients in bush clinics. Neither of us used our theological training. but we both were called to serve, and in that serving we were able to share Christ with countless people.
   A member of a hated minority race, bereft of parents, without any material legacy, living in exile in a foreign land, untutored by formal education, Esther had been reared and trained by her older cousin Mordecai. In God's providence, this teenage orphan was thrust into the royal court in Persia.
   Through perhaps not as far-reaching in influence as Esther, we are each what God has made us with our own respective circle of opportunities. In opportunity lies the real test of character. Through we usually thing of affliction as the major test of character, in Esther's case, prosperity and fame were the testing ground.
   Mordecai believed that Esther we placed in the king's house hold by divine appointment to do God's timely work. He passionately pleaded with Esther to put her life on the line because he believed the promises of God. He had watched the power and faithfulness of God unfold over the years. Mordecai understood that it is not failure that brings despair, but unfaithfulness and idleness.
   Esther had her opportunity; we have ours. A difficult and dangerous human task is no excuse for failing to perform divinely assigned duty. God chooses where we are called to serve; we choose, as did Esther, whether or not to respond in obedience to that call.

ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURE READINGS:

Paul's Vision of the Man of Macedonia
   Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
( Acts 16:6-10 )

   I appeal to you for my [own spiritual] child, Onesimus [meaning profitable], whom I have begotten [in the faith] while a captive in these chains.
   Once he was unprofitable to you, but now he is indeed profitable to you as well as to me.
   I am sending him back to you in his own person, [and it is like sending] my very heart.
   I would have chosen to keep him with me, in order that he might minister to my needs in your stead during my imprisonment for the Gospel's sake.
   But it has been my wish to do nothing about it without first consulting you and getting your consent, in order that your benevolence might not seem to be the result of compulsion or of pressure but might be voluntary [on your part].
   Perhaps it was for this reason that he was separated [from you] for a while, that you might have him back as yours forever,
   Not as a slave any longer but as [something] more than a slave, as a brother [Christian], especially dear to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh [as a servant] and in the Lord [as a fellow believer].
( Philemon 10-16 )

   We are all called to discipleship. Are you doing your part to minister the word to others? We, as Christians, should set an example. Our daily lives should reflect the image of Jesus to all those around us. Before saying or doing anythings, ask yourself, "What would Jesus do in this situation?" The answer might be far different then what you yourself would normally do in that same situation. Reflect Jesus in your everyday life, I know that is what I strive to do.
                              Just a thought!
                              God Bless!
