Lessons from Esther
I’d love to hear your thoughts on what’s been shared this week from one of my favorite books of the Bible: the book of Esther!
I pray that the nuggets from God’s Word have blessed you with reminders of God’s faithfulness. Stay encouraged, Kayren 🙂
p.s. Please let me know if you’d like to see more content like this, and how frequently…I’m listening, and I’m here to serve YOU!
Setup for Deliverance
It’s a setup from the get up – for you AND your people! Expect God’s faithfulness to be manifested on your behalf as you walk in obedience to His Word…
“17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.
19 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king’s gate.
20 Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.”
(Esther 2:17-20)
That Plot Won’t Prosper
Who else needed this reminder today? I know I did!!! Stay encouraged, Kayren
“8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
11 And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.”
(Esther 3:8-11)

“1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
2 And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.”
(Esther 3:1-2)
Stand Out from the Crowd
Have a Magnificent Monday as you meditate in God’s Word!
“8 So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king’s house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.”
(Esther 2:8-9)

The Value of Grace and Favor
For Queen Esther, the king’s favor positioned her to receive the crown.
What are YOU being positioned to receive by God’s grace and favor? Stay alert…you may be moving towards the palace – for GOD’S purpose, honor, and glory!
I’d love to hear how Queen Esther’s example has blessed you – please share a comment!

Know Your Value
I experienced a “mic drop moment” when God reminded me that it’s not even a competition when HE calls and chooses you…this is GOOD NEWS!
Esther replaced Vashti as queen.
David replaced Saul as king.
What does God have in store for YOU?

Nothing to Prove
