For Such a Time as This

Published 2011-01-05
Not knowing that his new wife Esther was a Jew, King Ahasuerus of Persia approved a decree that all persons of Jewish descent should be killed. Showing great faith, Esther entered the king's court without an invitation to plead for her people. Read about her experience in Esther 1-4: bit.ly/f2QQdl.

    I love the story of Queen Esther. We need more virtuous women like her for such a time as this!
  • @LDMillionaire
    My mother and brother are in crisis. My brother is homeless in Boston, where winter is harsh. Just last night my sister and I were discussing Esther and their 3 day fast. Today this video came to my phone via a notification! It's pretty clear God wants me to fast for 3 days for my family. Please pray for my homeless brother MG that he will find safe and permanent housing asap. Please pray for my 80 year-old mother Olivia, that this burden may be lifted from her shoulders. I keep their names on the temple prayer roll.

    Crazy how a story so old can be so incredibly relevant to today, and in so many ways.
  • We are all here "for such a time as this." What is our own personal purpose in life? Something worth considering. May we be as brave as Queen Esther.
  • It is very easy to stand with the crowd, but it takes courage to stand alone against the crowd.
  • @midgetaylor5010
    This fits our time as well. I do pray we may all be strong like Esther and Mordici. Stay safe in Christ.

    To not fear men and having the courage to trust God more than you would men.
  • @JH-nj8up
    The power of faith, fasting and prayers is great.
  • Esther is always mentioned as a great example of integrity and courage. When I read the book of Esther, it didn't seem so miraculous that she went to the king and said "Hey, stop." This video helped me understand just how grave the situation really was. Thank you for illustrating more fully how Esther did in fact have a lot of courage.
  • @wilhelmtell536
    Each of us need the courage of Ester. In a coming day we will have an opportunity to demonstrate such faith.

    I love this classic story, the power of God is still unrivaled then as it is now ❤
  • @honeybear717
    I love the Bible accounts , stories of courage, complete trust and love of God are so inspiring! Thank you for these videos!
  • @robrevans4259
    I loved the "ending."  It was a mild reproach for placing (even temporarily) more value on the telling of the story than on its true message of exercising faith and courage when it is most difficult to do so.  That message was very adequately delivered--when you already know the ending.
  • how many times that i read it but when i watch this i still feel amazed because queen ester is one of the great figure in the old testament
  • @17Gillespie
    Sometimes when you are alone and against many others you’ll find someone to help you out. It’s most likely a person but other times it is Jesus , Heavenly Father and the holy ghost
