Esther 4:14
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?"
Peter B. from Buchanan, MI said:
Here we see in this verse Esther responded to the call of her life to become a mediator for the people of Israel. Esther knew that for her to be successful she needed to be teachable, and also take that step of courage, the step of faith to put her life on the line. She risked her position and her life, to interceded for her people, and saved her people from being wiped out. She had courageous faith in God to fulfill her divine destiny. Today her legacy lives on, as the Nation of Israel celebrates the Feast of Purim.

Mordecai is confident that God will not allow His people to be destroyed and if Esther does not do something he knows someone will rise up. Esther may save herself but all else will be lost, all of her family. Then Mordecai says, maybe, just maybe you are the Queen for such a time as this.
Wow, what a powerful statement and one I need to always remember. Maybe, just maybe, I am in a place or a situation for such a time as this.

God NEVER places His followers anywhere just for them to be silent. Where ever I find myself, that is the place where God has strategically placed me in order to be His voice, His hands, His heart. God, help me be the follower that will stand for Your truth where ever you may lead me.

God's choice was to have Esther in this position to be Queen, she had the kings favor, and the plan to save the Jews. Gods plan for us was sending His Son Jesus to save us from our sin, and to live in the Grace of Jesus Christ.

Esther was in a position of power and great influence when persecution hit "her people" -the Jews. I believe culturally in America we Christians have been in a subtle but huge way in persecution. And to our shame, many of us "have remained silent" about our faith or justified compromise as a product of evolution and the "times". Mordecai's faith spoke loud and clear that if queen Esther did not intercede, God would deliver their people thru another means but her life and her family would perish. Our children and children's children are dieing and going to hell because we in this day choose silence and neglect to use the power and influence we have to glorify God and disciple others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

All this time, Mordecai is telling Esther not to tell anyone she's a Jew. Mordecai didn't stand up for his beliefs when his orphaned cousin is being taken into the king's harem, then all of a sudden he decides to get spiritual and not bow to Haman and gives his reason as the fact that he's a Jew. If He hadn't told Esther to keep the fact that she was a Jew a secret, the King woulda said to Haman that he couldn't kill the Jews cuz his Queen is a Jew. Now all of a sudden, he wants Esther to speak up. This is all so wrong in every way. In the whole book of Esther the name of God is not mentioned one single time. Yet His silhouette is all over it. Even when Esther says to fast, she doesn't say fast and pray. How many times in our lives have we not stepped up to the plate and done something we shoulda done or not done something we shoulda done? How many of us have been secret service Christians at some point in our Christian careers? This book is sooooo honest, I try to picture a Hollywood movie and who would play the parts. I see Danny Divito as Haman, Allisa Millano as Esther, Harrison Ford as Mordecai, and Colin Farrell as King Xerxes. Wadda ya think of my cast folks?

Esther 4:14 - God gives all of us opportunities to do great things for Him. We have a choice to do them or let someone else do them, either way, God’s will, will be done. We cry we want the Lord to use us but we are picky as to what we are willing to do. We want to do things our way, at our time, without commitment. We all come up with the same excuses: This is not my gift - Moses used that excuse. I am too young – Jeremiah use that one. Let me first bury my family – New Testament excuse. We all can come up with excuses but we need to realize that we were call for such a time as this. God has us standing outside of the doors He wants us to go through but fear, selfishness, laziness and many other excuses stand in our way. If you don’t want to follow Jesus, that is ok, but move over because the rest of us want ALL OF JESUS.

There is a time to be still and hold One's peace and another time to adhere to instruction and to move forward in purpose, Trusting in the Will of the Father, even in the face of the possibility of perishing. {another example-Meshach, Abednego, Shadrach}
On Psalms 105:1 by Walter H.
“1. praise (Him) 2. proclaim (Him) 3. make (Him) known”
