We all have to have faith that is stronger than the fear of death; otherwise we won't make it. God knows our faith and He WILL test it in this life. A month ago I came down with a combo of flu/pneumonia. I was in hosp. for 7 days, sick at home a week before that. In hosp. God told me He was using me in answer to my prayers for my husband's salvation. Then I REJOICED for my trial.
Esther is one person that when we get to Heaven, I shall seek out. She has always been a source of inspiration for me when I have had to face the "Haman's" in my life. She not only ruled well, she believed well. She is a role model for all women who love God and are faced with a situation where we need courage, in spite of our fears.
My mother read this story to me as a child. I never forgot.
The book of Esther has many inter. ideas. I am encouraged when I read of her obedience to her uncle M. and trust in God - as she request prayer and fasting! Could this be a lesson for us to go boldly before our King? He loves us even more than King A. loved Esther - He extends the golden scepter as we seek Him. Also inter., this happened 5 years after Esther was queen.
Queen Vashti was out of order. Women are supposed to honor and respect their husbands, reverence them as kings, even if they are drunken. Meek and lowly wives are to be; symbolic of Jesus... "a sheep for the slaughter."
Have faith in God, no matter what. Do not take matters into your own hands or you can be replaced. Don't let your beauty go to your head; stay humble.
My favorite book in the bible! God made Esther for such a time as this... To save her people from destruction, but Esther had a heart for God, and all was in Gods perfect timing, when we put our total trust in Him, there is nothing He won't do for His children, He loves us so very much!
The fact that God was working on the other side women should be respectful and honor their husband's because the word of God says men are the heard of the family whlist Chris is the heard of the church.
I think all is working in favour of Esther, the kings summon and the queens refusal is for the grace and favour of God in the life of Esther to accomplish
Ester The End Time Book to the Church. My favorite book in the Bible, no its not revelation. Ester, let me tell you about Ester. She is a type of the End Time Church. Ester was an orphan. Ester or the Church was young and beautify. Ester was a virgin. Let me tell you something Ester Church, you could have been the biggest Street walker in town but when Jesus cleanse you, He made you a virgin.Ester had favor, Ester hid the fact that if you are the Messiah s you are the same as Abraham s seed. Even though she hid her Jewish roots. Ester soak in oil for a year to smell nice for the King. Ester equipped the Jewish people with the Sword, the Word of the living God. Ester when she reached out to spare the Jewish people opened up the door for the greatest Gentile Revival in History.
Esther is a wonderful woman of God and role model at this time who believed on the efficacy of fasting and praying to God almighty to get result in trail times.With the boldness arising from seeking God 's face she was able to confront the king despite the dangers of that odd time with this conviction 'if I perish I perish in order to save a people of God
it is very good for woman to honor and obey her husband,leaders around her, it very very important in life. Esther is a great woman that obey her leaders and fear God so that is why God favored her in the eyes of the king.
ESTHER is a tale of tales, it reveals the worldly grandeur V s Core values. Esther an Orphan, an empty vessel is used through God 's providence to preserve a WHOLE nation. Where do we place ourselves in this story? Our positions can be located using God 's Positioning System in this story.
i respectfully disagree with the comment made that women should not honor their husbands. Ephesians 5 22 and Colossians 3 18 state that wives submit to their husbands. To submit to a person in authority over you, you must respect and honor that individual or submit in fear of punishment. My interpretation of "honor " is one of respect for that perrson 's position and inspiring them to be even greater men of God.
My mother read this story to me as a child. I never forgot.
Have faith in God, no matter what. Do not take matters into your own hands or you can be replaced. Don't let your beauty go to your head; stay humble.
