Scripture Read: Esther 1:1-4 Now it took place in the days of Ahasuerus, the Ahasuerus who reigned from India to Ethiopia over 127 provinces, [2] in those days as King Ahasuerus sat on his royal throne which was in Susa the capital, [3] in the third year of his reign, he gave a banquet for all his princes and attendants, the army officers of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the princes of his provinces being in his presence. [4] And he displayed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor of his great majesty for many days, 180 days.
Application:
Display - רָאָה, רָאֶה, רְאוּת [ra’ah /raw·aw/] 1 to see, look at, inspect, perceive, consider; use the perception of sight to view objects and make judgments based on the perceptions
Riches - כָּבֹוד kaw·bode glory, honour, glorious, abundance, riches.
Splendor - יְקָר [yâqar /yek·awr/ price, value, preciousness, honour, splendour, pomp.
Majesty - גְּדוּלָּה gâduwlah, 1a of man. 1b of God’s greatness (as an attribute).
Thinking about this in a different context. I should be showing God’s greatness and preciousness and His abundance for all to look at, to see, to inspect – so people can make judgments on them and be persuaded to make a decision. Isn’t that why the Holy Spirit is producing the character of Christ in me? Yes it is! Like this king – I have a treasure house and it need not be protected. I should show all of it to everyone. Lord help me to display Your Riches, Splendor and Majesty to all I come in contact with. Thank You Lord. I love You.
