Esther's Plea - Art Nouveau

On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king’s hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance. When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter. Then the king asked, “What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given you.” – Esther 5:1-3

Esther was far from home in a strange land, but the Lord had a plan! He would use Esther to save the Hebrews from certain death through extraordinary circumstances that only He could facilitate. Are you facing a challenging situation? Do you feel like you are far away from the place in which you find refuge? Even though we may feel out of place, God’s plan is perfect and He will use you right where you are! May this beautiful painting of Esther’s story remind you that you were created “for such a time as this.” [Esther 4:14]
