The story of Esther is an exciting drama to read, especially the events which followed her words here. The lesson for us is that there is always at least one pivotal point in everyone’s life, a crossroads where we must choose a pathway, leading to a decision which becomes a life-changing event. To make no decision at all is itself a decision! It is a decision to go along with whatever life offers, with no specific destination in view. From a spiritual point of view that is what the great majority are doing, refusing to decide whether there is a God or not. If they have no time for God, then God will have no time for them. The day will come when that really matters, in fact, when nothing else matters at all.
