After reading Day Two, pages 14-18, please share your thoughts on the following questions:
1) This is a party to top all parties. What do you compare this party hosted by Xerxes? Stated another way, if you walked into the banquet hall, what do you envision?
2) Xerxes displayed his wealth how many days? His banquet lasted ____ days?
3) Let's answer the statement from page 18. List every reason in Psalm 49 why prioritizing weath and strutting riches are wastes of precious time.
4) If you'd like to share, how did you rewrite Psalm 96:4-6
These questions are listed just to keep the juices flowing through your mind as you study. I found that the place where the banquet was held was an area I'd never thought much about before. After delving deeper into this study, I found that I was comparing this venue to the Hearst Castle in California which is one of the most magnificent places I've ever seen in my life. Talk about going over the top with showmanship just because you have the monetary means!
I hope you are enjoying this study as much as I am. I love to learn and this has been an eye-opener for me. On to Day Three for the coming week. I will again post a few questions for you to consider!
DAY THREE for the coming week of January 30th:
Beth Moore shares that going from the Day Two study to Day Three we move from the setting of the story to the cast of characters.
1) This question gives us a better idea of the party's host. We are asked to list everything about the wine. Personally I thought, wine is wine, you drink too much you get drunk. But I found four important points mentioned in these first twelve verses. What did you discover?
2) The next character is the Queen. What emerges about the Queen's character?
3) Of all the reasons discussed in the study, what is your physical description of Queen Vashti?
4) It is tough being in another woman's shadow and what does that mean to you?
When I post again next week, I will place a few of my answers to these questions in the text. However, I would love for you to share what your thoughts concerning these inquiries as we go along. Have a great week!
