A Royal Fit - Day 4
We need to be careful when seeking counsel. The King looked to his trusted wise men, the experts in law and justice to figure out what to do with the Queen when she refused the King's request to appear before his drunken guests. Interestingly the comment is made in scripture that the King sought the advice of "wise men who understood the times"....
This statement alone says a lot in only six words. Thought to consider: Do we make decisions based on the political correctness "of the times" in which we live? Or do we seek God in prayer and look to His Word for direction? Then the question is posed what can be done in order to keep from giving someone inflammatory advice when the temptation is strong to do so? Suggestion: Possibly step back, reflect and pray before giving any advice especially inflammatory suggestions. Nothing good comes from a heart full of anger.
Proverbs 31:45 is so eye-opening to this situation. Thought to consider: It reads as a perfect description of how God desires us to live for how can we make serious decisions when our capabilities are blurred?
Dispatched Reprisals - Day 5
As you continue with this study and read the material for Day 5, one main item of insecruity arose from the "men-folk" during this first lesson in chapter one. In your own words write what you believe was their main concern involving this incident with Queen Vashti that is evidently spreading throughout the kingdom?
Beth Moore asks that we keep a log of Purims; an acrostic for parties; unknowns; rescues; ironies and moments of events that happen throughout this study. This log is an account for you to do as the Lord leads. We might not address these facts on a regular basis, but they are to aid in your spiritual growth as many "nuggets" of wisdom will unfold as we continue our study of Esther.
Please feel free to comment back to me or write if you have concerns or questions to be answered more fully. God bless as you continue to pour through the scriptures with me via the internet!
