John 14:26 says, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:26). What many people fail to realize is that you can develop a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit just like you already have with God and Jesus. This wisdom will allow us to make decisions today based on knowing what will happen tomorrow. Our ability to tap into our calling is much easier when we make decisions based on the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit. As children of God, we can expect to be led by the Holy Spirit which will provide us with the wisdom of God to make the right decisions.

Romans 8:14 says, “For all those who are led by God’s spirit, these are God’s sons.” One of the greatest gifts God offers us is the privilege of being led by the Spirit of God. Whether Esther knew it or not, she was being led by the Spirit of the Lord. It really comes down to this: following our principles and calling is either a thing of the highest treasure to you, and that’s demonstrated in your choices, words, and actions every day, or it’s not. Jesus uses the word “treasure” to capture the fact that that we all live in pursuit of what we’ve named or deemed important. A great passage to reflect on when considering your calling is Matthew 6:19-34 which deals with our treasures in heaven. It is one of the most significant callings that Christians have. A great way to understand your calling is through this principle: Nothing is more important in your life than being one of God’s disciples. Staying grounded in your principles is so important. Also, when the king went out of his way to get her to tell him her national origin, she held her ground. Esther trusted where she was being led and she was able to do incredible things.Įsther only ate Kosher food, even when she was in the palace. If we know this is significant to God, then it makes sense to ask where God is calling and leading you in life. The reason this question is so significant is because the work we do is important to God. That’s why so many of us want to know that we’re on the right path.

We are drawn to the idea of knowing and pursuing our calling. This is a question many Christians want to know but have no clue where to start to find the answer. Many Christians wonder what God is calling for their life. God places us where we are supposed to be so that we can fulfill our calling. The leader of the Jews at the time, named Mordechai realized that this wouldn’t have happened unless she was truly destined to rescue her people.

In the beginning, Esther tried to hide from King Ahasuerus’ guards so that she wouldn’t have to marry him, but she couldn’t avoid her destiny.

Here are a few lessons from Esther’s story. Esther is also an incredible example of helping people in need, particularly those who are going through extremely tough and uncertain circumstances. She didn’t let her fear or position stand in her way. But she believed she was chosen by God to save her own people and agreed to go in front of the king anyway and won his favor and her people were saved. Even though she was his wife, she knew she was not allowed to approach him without invitation, and if she did, it could end in death. When the king’s right-hand man, Haman, came up with a plan to kill the Jews, Esther’s uncle found her and pleaded with her to spare Israel. She was chosen by the Persian King Ahasuerus to be his wife in a contest, not knowing she was a Jew. She is recognized mostly for her strength, bravery and dignity. Esther, in the book of Esther, was a biblical heroine who saved the Jewish people.
