Esther

I had to write a paper about a faithful follower in the Bible for Literature last year. I love Esther's story and I think she's a great example to all of us on how to be faithful to God.

Esther is a very inspiring character from the Bible because she trusted God to help her through all of the hardships she faced. She understood God's will and followed through in doing it, even though it was hard.

When the king was looking for a new queen, Esther was taken from her home and had to be kept at the palace for a long time to be brought before the king. After the king picked her, she and her people were put in danger by an evil man named Haman. When her cousin Mordecai begged her to ask the king to spare them, she decided to do it because she realized that that was the reason God had put her in that position. After doing the dangerous task of going before the king, he granted her request, and her people were spared.

Ester was faced with many challenged but she stayed true to God through it all. She showed great courage by doing something life-threatening for the sake of her people. She proved that you need to trust that God will get you through hard things, and that if you do God's will you'll never come out empty handed.

Now I want to know..who's your favorite Bible character and why? Esther is one of my favorites, as well as David, because he was THE musician of the Bible. He had such a heart of worship!
