Esther's Problem

Esther did not have a big problem but she had to save the Jews from getting killed. She did this by going and asking the king and an official called Haman to have a banquet. They had dinner for three days and in the end, she told him who she was and that she was a jew.

In what ways did Esther show trust and obedience in God?

ashelling1 — 2024-06-13 05:24:44 UTC

Esther showed trust and obedience in God by coming before the king telling him she was a jew and asking him to release the death of the Jews. When she approached the king she had to do it right as well because it was something people were not supposed to do even his wife unless called upon.

What I Can Learn From Queen Esther.

ashelling1 — 2024-06-13 06:28:04 UTC

I can learn to trust God more and listen to him more often. The story of Esther taught me that God can do anything and that listening to him will always have the outcome god wants. I learnt that you must be brave and that doing what god wants is not always easy.

I also learnt that the story of Esther is the only story in the bible that does not mention god or Jesus once. I have learnt a lot from this bible story and will keep unpacking it in years to come.
