Shepherd to Sheep
Esther 1:12
"But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command delivered by the eunuchs. Then the king became very angry and his wrath burned within him."
This refusal by the queen was to be made known far and wide, across a great cross section of the Persian kingdom. In this the king was filled with embarrassment as his pride and ego suffered greatly at her refusal. So incensed was the king, that he banished the queen from his presence, thus opening the door for the introduction of Esther. At times the Lord allows things to happen, capitalizing on the fleshly character traits of man to accomplish His purposes. But for we who are Christians, we ought to hopefully focus on things of the Spirit, and not the things of the flesh.
