QUIZ:  In the book of Esther a plot was being hatched to destroy the Jews. Esther was asked to use her influence to appeal to the king. Esther's response was:

a. No, we really shouldn't get involved in politics. Let's just pray about it.

b. No, God is sovereign. Leave it in his hands.

c. No, we should expect persecution. Just let it come.

d. Yes, let's fast and pray. Then I'll argue our case before the king. If I perish, I perish.
