Esther, Day 4

How do we respond to injustice? Read Esther 4.

A great injustice was going to be done to the Jews. Mordecai was devastated as he felt this very keenly and knew he would be killed. Esther may have been feeling removed from it, insulated in the palace as she was. Still, Mordecai reminded her that she still has a responsibility.

The same applies to us. When we become aware of injustice that is occuring, how do we respond? Whether or not we are directly affected, we should recognize that we still have a responsibility to point those we are around to the right way. We must confront the injustice that we see around us. Are you willing to stand up when you see something wrong?
