What if the scrolls of Esther met the scrolls of Instagram? Imagine a young Jewish queen navigating palace politics, divine purpose, and a genocidal decree with the same tools we use to share memes and selfies.
We often read the story of Queen Esther with awe. A young woman elevated to royalty “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14), she risked everything to save her people from destruction. But what if we transported her courage, faith, and wisdom into the digital age? What if Esther had an Instagram account?
Let’s take a light-hearted yet reflective look at how this ancient story might be told in modern memes, posts, and hashtags.

Reflections for Today: Esther’s fictional Instagram journey isn’t just a fun concept—it reminds us that our platforms, influence, and voices matter. Whether you’re a queen in a palace or a student with Wi-Fi, God can use you to stand in the gap, speak life, and shift history.
You don’t need a crown to be called. You don’t need thousands of followers to make impact. You just need obedience and courage.
So, what would your next post of purpose look like?
