Описание: When King Xerxes was looking for a new Queen, the most beautiful women in all of Persia were brought into the palace. They were adorned with whatever luxuries they desired and were required to complete twelve months of daily beauty treatments, before gaining audience in front of the king.
But Esther was different. She requested nothing but what Hegai, the king’s eunuch, the custodian of women, advised. And as it is written “Esther obtained favour in the sight of all who saw her” (Esther 2:15) and “she won his favour and approval more than any of the other virgins; so he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen” (Esther 2:17).
Do you know that when you know that you are highly favoured, greatly blessed and loved beyond measure, you no longer need to depend on your own strength and abilities?
Unlike the other women, Esther wisely and humbly submitted to Hegai’s lead as somebody who would know the king’s preferences best.
This story shows us how Esther depended upon the Lord’s unmerited favour. She simply rested in the God that deeply loved her, humbled herself before Him and the Lord gave her grace and favour, promoting her and exalting her far above all the other women.
When we choose to do the same, we will also stand out in a crowd (Esther means “star” in Persian) and she certainly shone brightly for God that day.
But the story doesn’t end there. Because of this promotion to become Queen of Persia she was later in a highly favoured position to protect all the Jewish people from being assassinated. Esther was able to move in positions of power and influence because of the favour which had been granted over her life.
In God’s kingdom there are no co-incidences. The Lord wants to bless you to be a blessing and God-incidents are the portal for this outpouring of His love.
