TOPIC: THE ROYAL CROWN
TEXT: ESTHER. 2:17
Top of a great weekend to you. May the Lord bless you beyond measure and cause His face to shine upon you before those that will help your life and ministry in the name of Jesus.
"The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti".
The king set the royal crown upon Esther.
She was one of the children of the captivity, a Jewess and a sharer with her people in their pain and bondage.
She was an orphan, her father and mother were both dead but, she was not forsaken here, the Lord took her up (Ps. 27:10).
Esther was a beautiful lady, fair of form, good of countenance, her wisdom and virtue were her greatest beauty, but it is an advantage to be a diamond to be well set.
Mordecai, her cousin, was her guardian, brought her up, and took her for his own daughter.
God of all grace and out of His providence, who has taken it upon Himself and of His honour to be a Father of the fatherless.
Her preferment was divinely orchestrated by God of all grace.
Who would have thought that a Jewess, a captive, and orphan, was born to be a queen, an empress! Yet so it proved.
Divine Providence sometimes raiseth up the poor out of the dust, to set them among princes (1 Sam. 2:8).
The king’s chamberlain honoured her, and was ready to serve her. Wisdom and virtue will gain respect. Those that pursue God’s favour shall find favour with man too.
All that looked upon Esther admired her and concluded that she was the lady that would win the prize and she did won it.
The king himself fell in love with her. She was not solicitous as the rest of the other maidens were, to set herself off with artificial beauty, she required nothing but just what was appointed and ordained for her by God of all grace and yet she was most acceptable. The king loved Esther above all the women, and the king needed not to make any further trials, or take time to deliberate or consult any committee, he soon determined to set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen.
This was done in his seventh year in the tenth month of that year(Est. 2:16) and Vashti was divorced and dethroned in his third year (Esth. 1:3).
So the king was four years without a queen.The honours the king put upon Esther was designed by King of kings. He graced the solemnity of her coronation with a royal feast, at which perhaps Esther, in compliance with the king, made a public appearance, which Vashti had refused to do, that she might have the praise of obedience in the same instance in which the other incurred the blot of disobedience.
May you not miss your royal crown before this year comes to an end in Jesus name.
Enjoy your day!
Personal Confession:
I receive fresh grace for manifestations of divine favour in my life and destiny in Jesus' name.
Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return.
