From Esther’s character, we learn to seek divine guidance in times of difficulty (Esther 4:15-17). Herbert Lockyer God is not mentioned in the Book of Esther even once. But Esther was clear that in this particular situation, a heavenly response was needed for an earthly situation. Esther needed direction. When we need God’s grace, fasting and prayer open the portals for spiritual growth, remove distractions and place us on a path to humility. Lisa Ross Acts 20:24: NET: "But I do not consider my life worth anything to myself, so that I may finish my task and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God’s grace." From her character we also learn, that when there is a necessity, to be ready to renounce self and exert ourselves for the good of others.
