To me the greatest thing about Esther is that it showed Gods's hand in the life of some of His people. Like He does with us. We don't hear Him literally, or see Him physically, but He works things anyway. As did He did with Mordecai, who trusted Him to live up to His word.
That's what we have to do, lean on His word and trust Him for it.
