One of the king’s wicked officers – Haman – wants to eradicate the Jews, especially Mordecai. He concocts a plan to do just that. By God’s grace, He positions Mordecai to learn of the plot. He had also positioned Esther to be able to do something about it. Esther had a decision to make. This was it. Would she be willing to die for trying to rescue her people? Faith requires action. Often, that action seems risky and difficult. This is the mesh point of faith – where faith, life and risk all meet.
