Esther

Esther in 10 days. An orphan becomes queen and risks everything for her people. God is never named, yet He is everywhere.

Each day, read the passage and write a SOAP (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) with the day's question in mind.

Day 1: Esther 1. Queen Vashti said no to the king and lost her crown. What does this chapter show you about the world Esther was about to enter?
Day 2: Esther 2. Esther found favor in a place she didn't choose to be. Where are you right now that you didn't choose?
Day 3: Esther 3. Haman's anger at one man turned into a plan against a whole people. How have you seen a small grudge grow into something bigger?
Day 4: Esther 4. "For such a time as this." What is one thing you know you should do but are afraid to?
Day 5: Esther 5. Esther waited for the right moment instead of rushing. When has waiting been the wise choice for you?
Day 6: Esther 6. One sleepless night changed everything. Where have you seen God work through what looked like coincidence?
Day 7: Esther 7. Esther finally said who she was and spoke up for her people. Who might need you to speak up for them?
Day 8: Esther 8. Esther went back to the king and pleaded again (8:3). What prayer do you need to keep bringing to God?
Day 9: Esther 9. The Jews made Purim a yearly reminder of their rescue. Why does it matter to remember what God has done?
Day 10: Esther 10. Mordecai used his position to work for the good of his people (10:3). How could you use your influence for others?
