ESTHER’S EXALTATION
MEMORY VERSE: “And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti” (ESTHER 2:17).
An author once said, “When the Most High God favours you, great things will happen to you. You will find yourself on top, even if people had thought you were a flop.”
Such was the case of Esther who was brought up by Mordecai, her uncle. He was her foster father, under whom she grew because Esther had lost both parents. Her implicit obedience to Mordecai, her faith in God and cooperation with her mentor, paid off. God favoured her. In a keenly contested competition to the seat of the first lady, she won and wore the crown.
Godly parents or guardians are to be held in high esteem and their godly counsels strictly followed. Divine opportunities are not for the proud and arrogant but for the humble and lowly in spirit. The path to stardom is overlaid with humility.
Esther’s condition as a slave did not stop her elevation to the throne in Babylon. Your present predicament does not matter. Your time will soon come. Keep trusting in God. He has the final say. Your God-ordained destiny is secure.
QUOTE: She won and wore the crown.
CHALLENGE: Before honour is humility.
PRAYER: Lord, lead me on to the higher ground of excellence
