She served as the deliverer for the Jews. Haman, their arch enemy, falsely accused them of revolting against the king so a law was enacted to exterminate them. I believe II Peter 1:5-8 shapes the character Esther possessed to fulfill that challenge. \u201c<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 7.3259pt; font-weight: bold;\"><sup>\u00a0<\/sup><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d In Greek, <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;\">add<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"> means fully supplies; <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;\">faith<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"> means persuasion; <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;\">virtue<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"> means valor; <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;\">knowledge<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"> means knowing; <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;\">temperance<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"> means mastery; <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;\">patience<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"> means endurance; <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;\">godliness<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"> means holiness; <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;\">brotherly kindness<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"> means fraternal affection; and <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;\">charity<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"> means benevolence. When you overlay this scripture text over Esther\u2019s story, it looks like this. Chosen queen, she had the assurance of the <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">miraculous deliverance of God\u2019s people by her hand. Her courage accepted full responsibility to make the appeal without shrinking back in fear. Her knowing showed her election was indeed born of God which gave her bravery to approach the king, even though she could have been put to death. She entered the king\u2019s presence without a formal invitation several times which validated her level of mastery. She overcame the fear of death when her wisdom presented the perfect time to make her appeal for her and her people to be spared. The integrity of her heart kept seeing no one higher than God, not even the king\u2014her husband\u2014who endorsed their execution unknowingly. She continued to display her selflessness so she was never proven disloyal. Her true desire to overthrow injustice was accompanied by her love to see God\u2019s people set totally free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/kingsportionlive.org\/Media.html\">Click<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>here to read the entire February Voice of Triumph enewsletter Kathryn Joy Foster Music Ministries, P.O.
