“…If It Pleases The King…”
“If it pleases the king, let a royal command be issued by him and let it be written in the laws of the Persians and Medes so that it cannot be repealed or modified, that Vashti is no longer to come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better and more worthy than she.” Esther 1:19 (AMP)
Today we open the book of Esther and it starts with the story of Queen Vashti, it tells us, “If it pleases the king, let a royal command be issued by him and let it be written in the laws of the Persians and Medes so that it cannot be repealed or modified, that Vashti is no longer to come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better and more worthy than she.”
Today as we take a moment in our prayers, we are reminded that everyone has their place and it is the position that man gives you, is the position that man can take away. It is important to remember that only our place in Jesus Christ is eternal and everlasting, is was sealed through the shedding of His blood on Calvary, as God’s word share, If it pleases the King!
