[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Don't Get Cozy in Persia by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

The book of Esther relates the story of a Persian king, Xerxes, who was
thirty-five years of age and rich beyond imagination. He staged a six-month
extravaganza of fine food, who’s who, pinot noir, and excess. A bit tipsy,
Xerxes decided to show off his wife, Queen Vashti. Apparently he expected
her to dance in front of his buddies. But boy, was he in for a surprise!
She refused to comply. Xerxes’ display of importance became his display of
ignorance.

What if all the glitz and glamour are only folly and foibles? And what if
the lure of the lights is just a hoax? Friend, don’t romp in it. Don’t fall
for it. Don’t take the bait. Don’t get cozy in Persia. Stay faithful to
your call as a covenant people.
