Chapter 4 provides a pivotal moment in the story of Esther. Up until now Esther has been a passive character, more acted upon than active in the story of God. She has a choice to make… Will she risk her status as Queen to identify with her people and mediate before the king? Or will she keep her head down and look to hold on to her position in the palace? Esther 4 is a story of God’s grace and the transforming power of a life laid down for Him.
