Someone would say, \u201cBe just in the right place at the right time.\u201d People become heroes, because they take quick action at the \u201cright time,\u201d while others stand watching in horror. This kind of courage made Esther a brave heroine in the history of Israel.<br \/>\nThough queen Esther did not have a specific title of ministry, she was instrumental in saving the entire Jewish nation. She was steadfastly committed to living according to godly principles.
