Now for those of you who wonder whether or not Esther is my real name let me set your mind at ease. I have chosen this name which I also go by in my other blog because of its significance in my life. When I think of Queen Vashti in the book of Esther I think of a woman much like some of the women in this world. Queen Vashti possessed power, wealth and beauty with this in mind when her husband called for her to show off her beauty she refused to come. This made the king burn with anger therefore her estate was to be given to someone better than her. Now in a day when men had so much possession over a woman this was not a wise decision.

There are so many times God calls us to do something and because we are proud and boastful we refuse to submit and address his needs. Therefore after awhile because God loves us there is a need for him to knock us off of our high horse. Esther pleased the king with her kindness and beauty. Esther possessed grace and favor and she was made queen. Esther took time to fast and pray so that her request to the king could have favor. Esther was clever as well as fair in beauty but above all things she possessed beauty form the inner man and this is where it counts in truth and spirit.
