Brothers and Sisters,
Nelson Mandela said about courage, "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." One of the top qualities of a good leader is to act courageously. Esther was one who by leaning on her faith learned how to act courageously in face of possible death. Forced to reveal her nationality under a dangerous situation, she answered to her uncle: “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish" (Esther 4:16)"
The leadership based on Biblical principles will always triumph because it looks beyond this present life, it looks to God. Esther was a very wise woman, a true leader who knew the power of timely disclosure and the importance of acting patiently and deliberately. She would not rush into making any decision. Because all her decisions were made thoughtfully and prayerful, God was able to use her to save a whole nation.
May the Lord richly bless you!
