As you go throughout the week reflect on these takeaways:

- Circumstances do not dictate your response in the midst of chaos, calling does. Sometimes God will call you to do the hard thing while everyone else is doing what is easy.

- Every believer is called to leverage their influence for the King. You have been positioned where you are for such a time as this.

- Desperate times call for divine intervention. Like Mordecai pleaded with Esther, we must cry out to our true Savior who can deliver us from the hands of our enemies.
