The law said, approach the king uninvited and you could be put to death, even if you were the Queen. Esther fasted for three days and asked her people to fast with her. Then she made her decision.
"...and if I perish, I perish." — Esther 4:16
Hers is not bravery without fear; it's faith despite fear. She was terrified and went anyway, not because she knew how it would end but because she believed that God would go with her.
Our courage won't look like Esther's most of the time. It won't be a dramatic leap. But those quiet decisions to stay true to what you believe and keep moving toward Him, even when you cannot see what is coming next, are what shape us and draw us nearer to Him.
Is there someone in your life whose courage has inspired you?
