God gave Esther the wisdom to remain quiet about her faith and heritage until the properttime. I believe that God still places many "Esthers" in positions of secular authority and visibility in music, politics, business and entertainment. At the proper time they use those positions to initiate justice for people and advancment for the church.

The Wisdom of Esther
Conservative theologians have historically battled over the canonization of the Book of Esther because God is not even mentioned in it. It is probable that the religious conservatives of Esther's time judged her for becoming the queen in a heathen court, but it was all a part of God's strategy to save her people, which also included those religious conservatives. The Lord could have saved them another way, but he chose this way for his own reasons.
