Topic :Be Humble And Teachable.

Memory Verse :Esther 2:17. The king liked her more than any of the other women, and more than any of the others she won his favour and affection. He placed the royal crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.

Bible Reading : Esther 2:9-11 GNB. Key Verse : v9.

Hegai liked Esther, and she won his favour. He lost no time in beginning her beauty treatment of massage and special diet. He gave her the best place in the harem and assigned seven young women specially chosen from the royal palace to serve her. Now, on the advice of Mordecai, Esther had kept it secret that she was Jewish. Every day Mordecai would walk to and fro in front of the courtyard of the harem, in order to find out how she was getting on and what was going to happen to her.

The story of Esther in the Bible is that of grass to grace. She came from from an unbelievably humble background to become queen in a foreign land. Initially every statistics was working against her. In the first place she had lost her parents. We were not told the circumstances under which she lost her parents here, possibly as casualties of war, when her people was conquered and carried away into exile. Her uncle Mordecai had to raise her in the stead of her late parents. It is true that Esther was a pretty woman, but what made her great was more because of the way she behaved or carried herself. That made everyone that came in contact with her to like her way of doing things and therefore helped her to become queen in the stead of Vashti. We shall be looking at the two qualities in her that is worth emulating. These good qualities in her will open the doors of favour and divine help to anyone who imbibes them in his/her lifetime.

The first quality Esther had was that she was teachable. When she was going for this selection exercise, Mordecai warned her not to reveal her identity as a Jewish woman prematurely because that could work against her being considered which she adhered to strictly. Mordecai always came around while she stayed in the harem to know of her condition, as to encourage and instruct her because of her teachable spirit. It was not just all about her appearanve, but the humble and submissive spirit she exhibited through the process stood her out among her equals. It wasn’t difficult to single her out for special favour and help which made the difference for her at every stage, even before the King himself.

The second quality worth emulating here is humility. It takes someone with a humble heart to be teachable. This made her respect men like Hegai who gave her the platform of acceptance before the King, because he knew exactly what the king desired. Again because of the circumstances that led to the dethronement of Vashti who rebelled against the king to make him look ordinary before his close friends and the public, the emphasis this time was adjusted to accommodate a young woman who had a humble spirit. A woman who will be there for king Ahasuerus anytime he needed her for anything. These qualities was seen in Esther. That is the reason she was considered complete at every stage and prepared to get the best of her date with the king. Even the king on seeing her for the first time knew that he had seen the right lady he was searching for. Humility is key to activation of grace before the Lord and with men. “Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” KJV.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for teaching me wisdom through the lives of men of old. From today help me to always humble myself before you and fellow men, so that my lifting can come in due season. Help me to have a teachable spirit all my days, so that I won’t learn the hard way in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 4:5-22.
