The studies in Esther

The studies in Esther seem to be going well. I am trying to draw some practical applications from it. For example, all that Esther and Mordicai did followed on from three days of fasting an prayer.

What they did took planning. Planning is a practical and spiritual thing, it is not either or

Ones character is paramount. The king spared Esthers life and her people because of the fact that in all her ways she pleased him. She used her judgement, her experience of palace life to present her petion in an acceptable way

Early on she took wise advice. She took Mordecais advice and when she presented herself to the king for the first time, she took advice on what to wear.

We can see that she continued to use what she had learned to please the king and deliver the Jews.
