November 16 - She Should Go In Unto The King.

Esther 4:8
“Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.”
 
She.
She was placed there at a specific time for a specific purpose.
 
Esther 4:14
“For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
 
God creates divine appointments.
Where we are right now is for a purpose!
 
She asked her people to fast and pray for her.
Esther 4:16
“Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.”
 
She was brave.
She was even willing to die if that was the will of God.
 
She was used of God to save her people.
 
Esther is also an example of how God can empower us to do great things for His glory.
