Humility and Marriage

EXAMPLE 2: ESTHER (Book of Esther in the Old Testament)
ESTHER WAS AN ORPHAN UNDER THE CARE OF HER UNCLE. SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND SO WAS CHOSEN/TAKEN AWAY FROM HER FAMILY AND TAKEN TO THE KING’S PALACE. THERE SHE WAS PHYSICALLY PREPARED BY HEGAI (THE EUNUCH) TO EITHER BECOME QUEEN OR ONE OF THE KING’S CONCUBINE. ESTHER 2:9 AND ESTHER 2:15 SAYS SHE REQUESTED NOTHING BUT WHAT THE EUNUCH ADVISED. VERSE 9 SAYS SHE PLEASED HIM AND HE GAVE HER EXTRA BEAUTY SUPPLIES AND SHE OBTAINED FAVOR IN THE

SIGHT OF ALL WHO SAW HER.
ESTHER 2:17 SAYS THE KING LOVED ESTHER ABOVE ALL THE OTHER WOMEN AND SHE OBTAINED GRACE AND FAVOR IN HIS SIGHT SO MUCH SO THAT HE PUT A CROWN ON HER HEAD AND MADE HER QUEEN INSTEAD OF VASHTI WHO WAS BEAUTIFUL BUT WAS PROUD AND DISOBEYED THE KING’S COMMAND.
ESTHER AS QUEEN WAS PUT IN A GRAVE SITUATION.                                                    HER UNCLE TOLD HER SHE NEEDED TO TALK TO THE KING ABOUT AN EDICT THAT WAS SENT TO DESTROY THE JEWISH PEOPLE. ESTHER KNEW IF SHE WENT TO SEE THE KING WITHOUT BEING SUMMONED, SHE COULD BE PUT TO DEATH. FOR THE LOVE OF HER PEOPLE, SHE DECIDED TO ACT.
 FIRST SHE PRAYED AND FASTED WAITING ON GOD’S TIMING.
NEXT SHE WENT INTO COURT TO SEEK THE KING’S PRESENCE. THE KING GRANTED HER AUDIENCE TO THE SURPRISE OF ALL PRESENT.
THEN SHE INVITED THE KING AND HAMAN TO DINNER SO THAT SHE COULD TALK TO THE KING PERSONALLY.
SHE HUMBLED HERSELF, GOD USED THE SITUATION AND TRUTH WON THE DAY WHILE SAVING COUNTLESS LIVES

PETER 5 STATES GOD RESISTS THE PROUD BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
PROVERBS 31:30 SAYS CHARM IS DECEITFUL AND BEAUTY IS PASSING BUT A WOMAN WHO FEARS THE LORD SHE SHALL BE PRAISED
PROVERBS 29:25 SAYS THE FEAR OF MAN BRINGS A SNARE BUT WHOEVER TRUSTS IN THE LORD SHALL BE SAFE.
