Character Sketch of Esther

I just finished my third week of Beth Moore's Bible Study on Esther. It is indeed tough being a woman but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world! God has blessed me with 9 other beautiful women with whom I study the book of Esther every Sunday evening for two hours. The character sketch of Esther that we created last week has stuck in my mind. Of all the characteristics Esther possessed, I am most impressed by her wisdom.

Esther was WISE.

1 Corinthians 1:30 - It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God - that is our righteousness, holiness and redemption.

Remember that Esther was orphaned and she was brought up by her male cousin. Can you imagine not having a mom or dad? I am sure she thought that it was tough being a woman but she relied on the wisdom God gave her to be the Queen God desired her to be. I wonder if she ever asked herself "am I being a good role model?" Or I wonder if she ever thought, "it's hard just trying to be a young lady."

I hope we as women allow God to truly be "wisdom" for us!
