Esther 2

20 But Esther had kept secret her family background and nationality just as Mordecai had told her to do, for she continued to follow Mordecai’s instructions as she had done when he was bringing her up.


no great takes today, just noting how she came from a broken family background and that this point is made 3 times I believe in this chapter.  I don't recall the details of where this story is going but it seems her lineage is important.

  I think I can see where Disney stories get some of their inspiration, motherless beautiful girl rises to a great position in society.

  1. It does sound a lot like a Disney story, doesn't it? Her nationality is going to become important....as the story goes along. God has her in this position for a reason.
    I won't spoil it.
    I can remember something similar happening at the Parker household.......Dad decreed that all the beautifiul women of Cedar Falls be assembled, and then they were paraded in front of me, to see which ones I like the best.........Can you imagine? Hahahahaha.
    The power of the King of the land was immense, and the people fell in line.
    It seems so crazy now.
