The palace of King Ahasuerus brimmed with eligible young women from all over the region who were vying to be named queen. The royal closets and jewelry boxes were open for the hopefuls to choose bangles and baubles and veils to catch the attention and favor of the king. Can you imagine the chaos that ensued?
Rather than jump into the frantic fray, Esther consulted Hegai, the king’s eunuch, who had been charged with keeping the ladies in line. He gave Esther fashion advice fit for his king’s queen.
Esther listened to the eunuch’s wisdom. She could’ve followed her own will, abiding by her own sense of glamour and what she thought might appeal to the king. Instead, she paid attention to the advice of someone who knew better, from experience, what he would like. This served her well as she gained the king’s favor, became queen and saved her people. What can listening to wisdom do for you?
