Esther 9:20-10:3
We looked last week at the Jews experiencing relief and rest after the defeat of Haman’ edict. We also discovered that relief and rest were not ends in themselves but led to rejoicing, a celebration – a worship service. Today we see all this culminated in an act of remembrance.

Esther 4:1-17
In Esther 4 Mordecai will challenge Esther to not be silent, to be the “somebody” to help meet the needs of her people, the Jews. God would preserve His people through Esther’s and Mordecai’s obedience. Today, our obedience is God’s ordinary means for accomplishing His extraordinary plans.
