For Such a Time as This: Don't Lose Your Head!

Esther 5: 5-8
Waiting is tough. When offered up to half the kingdom, Esther didn't plunge at the king with her request. She casually invited him to a feast. Despite the urgency of the hour, she waited. The Bible says "In your patience possess ye your souls." How can we do that when trouble is all around and everything looks hopeless?

I saw a gorgeous sunrise today. It reminded me that even the darkness, the glory of God can appear.
In today's episode, Esther has to take a stand at a pivotal time in her nation. Just a wee lass in a huge kingdom. What could she do?
