The story of Esther starts out like a steamy Soap Opera. The King has a party that last six months. The Queen whose name is Vashti has her own party for six months. Now how it took that long for the king to finally be full of drink and call for the Queen I don't know but that's what it say's in Esther chapter 1.
Then you can almost see her head roll when she tells the King, "Nope, not coming to your party!" Really? He is the King. He calls for His Queen. She's been partying with the girls for six months and she's going to tell the King, "No!?"
Well her disobedience made room for Esther's promotion. God will get His will done. If one person refuses to do what He calls them to do He will call forth another. That is exactly what the king did.

Esther's name means star. Stars shine the brightest when it is the darkest. Vashti's name means beauty and we all know beauty fades. And so it was with our story we read in the Bible from the book of Esther.
Esther a young orphan girl is raised as a daughter by her uncle Mordecai. Mordecai's name means Warrior and Worshiper. When you are raised by a warrior and a worshiper it changes you. Regardless of the reason people stepped out of your life, regardless of the reason others perhaps even stepped on you, God will send a worshiping warrior to train you to arise and find your purpose and cause you to chose His purpose over your pfeference.
We are all orphans, but God calls us Royalty. He chooses to to call "Royalty to the Rescue". That is exactly what Esther did. She rose up like the one who trained her and saved her nation.
What about you? Who is training you? Who are you being loyal and obedient to? Who are you trusting to train you to go before the King?
