Queen Esther
She was just a girl when her parents were murdered. Her uncle Mordecai was caring for her when the call went out for a new Queen to replace Queen Vashti. Esther was taken and prepared for a night with the King to see if she was what He delighted himself in to become the new Queen. This was not a short process. It took time. She was soaked in fragrant oils, she was given lessons on how to please the King. I am sure that she was uncomfortable. Out of her comfort zone to say the least, taken from her surroundings without a choice. In Esther 2:10 it says, "Esther had not revealed her people or family, for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal it." How often when God calls us to ministry or He gives us a Word for our lives that we think that it will happen immediately but when it take a long time we give up? I think it happens a lot! But God is faithful and His timing is perfect. Even though Esther was chosen as Queen it didn't mean that life turned to easy street. There
