Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.”

(Esther 2:17)

Interesting, Jesus.

You needed Esther on the throne to save Your people.

Vashti had to go.

You could have killed Vashti.

Instead, You let her take a moral stand

which she took and lost her throne

while keeping her dignity.

Was Vashti grateful?

Probably no more than I am when You do me a kindness

and I, heartbroken, view it as punishment.
