Esther's Task
“[Mordecai] told [the middle man] to urge [Esther] to go into the king’s presence to beg for mercy and plead with him for her people. [The middle man] went back and reported to Esther what Mordecai had said. Then she instructed him to say to Mordecai, ‘All the king’s officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that he be put to death. The only exception to this is for the king to extend the gold scepter to him and spare his life.’” (Esther 4:8-11 NIV)
“‘But,’ the LORD said, ‘you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.’” (Exodus 33:20)
Do you have the courage to approach the living God and plead for those who are lost? Or more convicting to me, do I even care enough about the lost to plead for them before the LORD?
