In Esther 3–4, we watch Haman’s rage collide with Mordecai’s conviction and Esther’s moment of decision. When a genocidal decree threatens God’s people, Mordecai urges Esther to see her placement in the palace as providence—“for such a time as this.” Through fasting, prayer, and costly courage, Esther steps toward the king, trusting the God who overrules the enemy’s schemes. This message calls us to live as set-apart people right where we are—refusing compromise, seeking God’s face, and embracing our gospel calling in the middle of messy circumstances.
