Esther is another powerful story of how GOD places people in specific times, places, and positions to carry out HIS will for HIS people. Esther’s heritage was kept secret in order to protect her from the surrounding culture as she was raised “behind enemy lines”. When the time was right Esther courageously and boldly proclaimed her identity in order to save the Israelites. Esther refused to remain safe in silence but excepted her duty as an agent of GOD’s kingdom.
