Receive the Royal Crown
“Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at her. So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.” (Esther 2:15-17 WEB)
There was a huge beauty pageant being held to choose a new queen.
Each contestant could choose an item to bring with her into the king’s presence.
All the young women brought what they thought would please the king, based on their own assumptions and understanding.
However, Esther was uncommon. She trusted the king’s eunuch and brought what he recommended, into the king’s presence.
In this story, Esther is a picture of a believer, the eunuch represents the Holy Spirit, and the king represents God the Father.
Do you lean on your own understanding or do you trust the leading of the Holy Spirit?
How do you obtain great favor from God? It is by humbly relying on the Holy Spirit and not by trusting in your self-efforts, intelligence, beauty, skills, or strength.
When you lean on Him, you receive the power of God into your circumstances.
The one who relies completely on the Holy Spirit receives the royal crown on the head.
“Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding. Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her. She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you.”” (Proverbs 4:7-9 WEB)
The Holy Spirit gives you godly wisdom whereas the world’s wisdom is earthly, sensual, and even demonic. God’s crowns you with grace and splendor (every good thing). This is how you reign in life!
