Vashti was blessed with a king. Like so many of God's children we are blessed in so many areas of our lives and we don't even notice it. We take things for granted that others wished that they had. We treat them like they don't even matter. Vashti, didn't even realize... how fortunate she was to have such a good life. She let pride and arrogance rule her. She took for granted her blessings. Perhaps she had forgotten where she had came from; whatever the case she soon lost her blessings. What she had was stripped from her and was awarded to someone else. She then became a commoner; not favored, or for a lack of better words not blessed anymore.
God has brought us from a mighty long way. We once was in sin, and in utter darkness; but because of Jesus, and what he did on Calvary we now are blessed and highly favored by the King of all Kings. We mustn't refuse the King when he calls us like Vashti did . We should run to do whatever the King tells us to do. We must not forget it is because of his love that we are heirs to his throne. As Christians born again we must understand that we have the greatest gifts/blessings ever given to man and that's the gift of eternal life.
Vashti, like us had a great gift of being the queen, sitting along side the king when privy to, but she took her position in the palace for granted. We must learn from her mistake. We are in favor with God because of the blood of Jesus. He is our savior, He has bought us with a price. It was nothing that we done or has earned, but through the kindness of the Father He let His Son be put to death to pay for us to now be sitting in Heavenly places. Our names are written on the Lamb's book of life, but we must be sure to guard our Christian walk. We must always remember the great price that was paid and never trample over the blood of Jesus. We cannot do or live any kind of way just because we are his children. We are not our own for we were bought with a price. Actually, because we are his children we should walk circumspectly and not as fools. We are a peculiar people, and a royal priesthood; a chosen generation. Our life's belong solely to the King. We are to obey his wish and command for our life's. In doing this we may bring glory to the Father.
We must seek to please the King at all times. We must be eager to hear even his faintest call to us. Our attention and aim should always be on pleasing
The Most High. With this attitude the Father will be honored by our ways; because our ways unlike Vashti's ways will always pleased the King.
HEAVEN IS THE FINISH LINE! DON'T GIVE UP UNTIL YOU FINISH THE RACE. LET NOTHING STOP YOU. EVEN IF YOU GET TIRED, REST BUT DON'T QUIT! KEEP PRESSING ON!!!
