1. For Such a
Time as This
Esther 4

2. CUNNING

3. CUNNING Mordecai distances himself from Esther
Both characters do what it takes
Think, plan and act in the face of bad news

4. CALLING

5. CALLING There is always a bigger purpose at play
Mordecai thinks she may fit in that plan
What is God already doing, and how are you uniquely purposed for that?

6. COMMITMENT

7. COMMITMENT Fear of death does not deter her
Riches of the world do not distract her
She is like our Lord Jesus, who was committed to the cross for us

8. TIMES SUCH AS THESE NEED:
Cunning – do not sit around waiting
Calling – Find how you fit in God’s plan
Commitment – stick it out through thick and thin
