Queen Esther pretended to be a Persian instead of a Jew, However her deportment won the King to trust her. Waiting for God to work a miracle and willing to die to achieve God’s purpose, her actions far outweighed God’s willingness to use her/us just as she/we are to save His people.

when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.                    (I Peter 2:20)

 “To wait patiently, to trust when everything looks dark, is the lesson that the leaders in God’s work need to learn. Heaven will not fail them in their day of adversity.

“Trials will come, but go forward. This will strengthen your faith and fit you for service. The records of sacred history are written , not merely that we may read and wonder, but that the same faith which wrought in God’s servants of old may work in us.” Ellen G. White, Prophets and Kings, pp. 174, 175.
