Our Feast is in God’s Word!
June 13, 2013 – Esther 1
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully Feast in Esther 1; King Ahasuerus hosts a lavish feast for
all his officials and servants. The kings wife Vashti refuses to to attend the
feast. The king decrees that Vashti is never again to come before him and she
is to be replaced; “21
This advice pleased the king and the princes, and the king did as Memucan proposed.
22 He sent letters to all the royal provinces, to every province in its own
script and to every people in its own language, that every man be master in
his own household and speak according to the language of his people.” Esther 1:21-22 English Standard Version
(ESV). As Christians would we tear our
marriage up when our spouse disagrees with us? Certainly not Jesus tells us that we and our spouse
are one flesh. God never wanted man and woman to divorce. So
what should we do and how should we act when we disagree with our spouse?
“[Hearing and Doing the
Word] Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow
to speak, slow to anger;” James 1:19 ESV. The enemy is the devil and
God’s Word tells us how to handle our anguish; “Good sense makes one slow to
anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.” Proverbs 19:11 ESV. This is just one more reason we Feast
together.
Jesus wants you? Do you hear that small
voice calling; sinner com home? Do you
want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes please click the

Overview of Esther; “We find in this book, that even those
Jews who were scattered in the province of the heathen, were taken care of,
and were wonderfully preserved, when threatened with destruction. Though the
name of God be not in this book, the finger of God is shown by minute events
for the bringing about his people's deliverance. This history comes in
between (Ezra 6 and Ezra 7)”. – Matthew Henry Concise
