Day 5: Speak Up for Such a Time as This

Reading: Esther 4:12-14

Esther was given a position, a platform, and a moment. Her first instinct was to stay quiet and stay safe. Mordecai's words cut through her hesitation with clarity: silence is not neutral. There are people around you right now who are waiting, perhaps without knowing it, for someone to speak the name of Jesus with conviction and love. The world will tell you to keep your faith private, to let everyone find their own way. But you carry the only message that leads to life. You did not arrive at this moment by accident. Your relationships, your story, your voice were placed where they are for a reason. Speak up.
