"Thus prepared, each young woman went to the king, and she was given whatever she desired to take with her from the woman's quarters to the king's palace .... Now when the turn came for Esther ... to go to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised .... So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace .... The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight...."
Esther 2:13, 15, 16a, 17a
When Esther's time came to go to see the king, she took only what Hegai suggested. She did not take her own ideas of what was acceptable to the king and found favor in his sight. When my time comes, and I am ushered into the presence of the King, what will I take with me? My own bling-bling – my own accomplishments and my own goodness? Or will I take what pleases the King? I want to find favor in His sight.
Today's Thought: When we die, we will take with us only what is eternal.
Have a favorable day. Love you.
