The Courage to Stand and the Grace to Wait. Esther 5:1-14 This bible study deals with Esther's remarkable display of courage and wisdom as she takes her first steps in confronting the king about Haman's plot to destroy the Jewish people. Risking her life, Esther approaches the king uninvited, embodying the courage to stand for what is right. Yet, instead of rushing into accusations, she demonstrates grace and patience by inviting the king and Haman to a banquet—a strategic move guided by faith and divine timing.The message highlights the balance between bold action and patient waiting on God's guidance. Esther's story teaches us that courage is not reckless but is rooted in trust in God's sovereignty. It also shows that waiting is not passive but an act of faith that allows God's plans to unfold perfectly.As believers, we are called to stand firm in our convictions and to trust God's timing when facing life's challenges. This bible study challenges us to ask: Do we have the courage to act when God calls and the grace to wait for His perfect plan to be revealed? Esther's example reminds us that both are essential in fulfilling His purposes.
