The story has moved quickly as the plan to exterminate the Jews has grown. But the king and Haman do not know that Esther is a Jew. Enter: The wisdom of Mordecai. He suggested that possibly she had come to her position for just this time. Now...let us think about one more thing—God has not been mentioned yet in this story (and He is not mentioned by name in the rest of the book, either). But when Mordecai gives his advice to Esther in verses 13-14, I believe he is teaching her about the real theme of this book: The providence of God. Think on this carefully and decide to do right in all situations so that God can use you, as He was about to use her.
