Her inner beauty drew them to her and she was given additional beauty treatments (Esther 2:9), not provided to the other women. This was because of her disposition - kind and compassionate, meek possibly. She found favor with the king’s servants. Yes, she must have been beautiful, but her inner beauty shined through also. But, I don’t think that she won solely based on her appearance. His plans are beyond our comprehension and are so perfect! Esther was chosen to be queen out of all the eligible young women of the 127 provinces (from India to Ethiopia) that Xerxes controlled. ![]() ![]() This story is so remarkable, not only from the romantic point-of-view of a woman winning the heart of the most powerful king of the time but even more importantly the providence of God and His plan for His people. My personal favorite being ‘One Night with the King’, an adaptation of the Tommy Tenney novel. The story of Esther, the young Jewish woman who became the Queen of Persia, is very familiar to us. ![]()
