But the fearful.…

And if I perish, I perish.…

Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer, Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

ESTHER 4:13-16 KJV

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2 TIMOTHY 1 KJV

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

REVELATION 21:6-8 KJV

It is not a sin to try and to fail it is however a sin to lack the faith and courage to do what the Lord has led you to do. For failure just might be a part of God’s plan and we must have the courage to act when the time comes no matter what we believe the odds of success are. Follow as the Lord commands and leave the results up to Him and His will.
