- Read Esther 2
Since we heard in the video about how Esther comes into the story (the King’s banquet, Queen Vashti’s refusal, the King’s edict…), let’s focus in on chapter 2.
Let’s be honest- this choosing of a new queen is out of our paradigm. At least it’s out of mine for women to be herded about in this fashion.
- Where do you see God’s mercy at work in this chapter?
- How would you feel if you were Esther?
- Who has been a “Mordecai” in your life? Someone older- either in years or in faith- who has given you guidance?
- Spend some time thanking God for His provision in this person (perhaps write them a note as well!)
