Question
How was Esther selected as queen?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
In the third year of King Xerxes reign in the citadel of Susa, he gave a banquet for all his nobles and officials.
-
When the attendants delivered the king’s command, Queen Vashti refused to come. Then the king became furious and burned with anger.
-
Vashti was removed from her position as queen.
-
Xerxes searched for beautiful young virgins and Esther was taken to the king’s palace.
-
Esther was taken to King Xerxes in the royal residence and the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, so he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - If Vashti did not disobey the king’s command, would the Israelite be saved in later day? God’s mind is higher than our own. Am I willing to see God’s work in everything I encounter?
Prayer
