Most gracious Heavenly Father, this scripture has many meanings. It can be said that the Queen felt that the King was under the influence of the wine that he had been drinking. It also follows suit with the fact that married women are to honor there husbands and submit to them according to the vows that they took at the time of there marriage. With that in mind, I pray that all women rejoice and treasure the gift of life that they have with there husband. I pray that no abuse be in that life, I pray that they focus on sharing the Fruits of the Spirit with others. I pray that there marriage grow stronger as they take the time to pray together, study your word together, work together for the marriage, stay focused on the goals of the marriage and continue to love each other forsaking all other. I pray that the abusers of this world find out that harming women comes with a price. Father I pray that no women abuse there husband also for, for we are to love each other as you have loved us. I pray that you r forgiveness be upon us as we strive to serve you with a greatfull heart. Father, I pray that no man parade his wife around as to be considered a trophy or a prize, for we are all a prize in your eyes. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. What is on the outside may not be what is inside. You do not judge a book by its cover, nor do you judge a person by what you think you see. Its what inside a person that the Lord will use to judge them. He knows our heart! He knows ever act of kindness that we give to others, he knows of the deeds and request that we answer. He has provided us with the tools to serve him with a greatfull heart, to forgive others and to be forgiven ourselves. For being of the Lord does not make us perfect, it makes us forgiven. We get that forgiveness when we confess that we have sinned against the Father and ask for his mercy to be upon us. Each day as we pray we use Acts in our prayers, acknowledging him, giving him all the praise and glory befitting of the King of Kings, confessing our sins to him and giving thanks to him for everything that we have and all that we are. Asking him to fill our heart with the glory of the Lord and to hear our cries for help. To always know what we need and to provide that in accordance with his perfect timing and his way. Let us never be of our own accord, for we must Be still and know that he is Yahuaha (God), we must listen to the words that he has for us, we must follow the wisdom that he gives us, we must follow the path that he has for us. For in the end all who do this will reach the desire that is in our hearts and that is to have eternal life through him, and with him in heaven. Father, I pray that you hear the cries of the people and answer each according to there needs. I pray that you heal us with the touch of your mighty hand. I give all credit to you Father for all that we are and all that is yet to come is through you. In Yahuahas name bless us.

The army of Persia and Media, the nobles and the provincial officials were in attendance. 4 He displayed the dazzling wealth of his kingdom and his great splendor for a long time, 180 days. 5 At the end of that time, the king gave a seven-day banquet in the courtyard of the royal palace garden for all the people, both great and small, there in Shushan the capital. 6 There were white cotton curtains and blue hangings fastened to silver rods, with cords of fine linen and purple; the columns were marble; the couches [for reclining at table] were of gold and silver on a mosaic flooring of malachite, marble, mother-of-pearl and onyx. 7 Drinks were served in gold goblets, with each goblet different from the others. There was royal wine in abundance, as befits royal bounty. 8 The drinking was not according to any fixed rule, for the king had ordered the stewards to serve each man what he wanted. 9 Also Vashti the queen gave a banquet for the women in the royal house belonging to King Achashverosh. 10 On the seventh day, when the king was in high spirits from the wine, he ordered Mehuman, Bizta, Harvona, Bigta, Avagta, Zetar and Karkas, the seven officers who attended him, 11 to bring Queen Vashti before the king with the royal crown, in order to show the people and the officials her beauty, for she was indeed a good-looking woman. 12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the order of the king, which he had sent through his officers. This enraged the king — his anger blazed inside him. 13 As was the king’s custom, he consulted sages well-versed in matters of law and justice. 14 With him were Karshna, Shetar, Admata, Tarshish, Meres, Marsna and Memukhan, the seven vice-regents of Persia and Media, who were part of the king’s inner circle and were the most important officials in the kingdom. 15 [The king asked the sages,] “According to the law, what should we do to Queen Vashti, since she didn’t obey the order of King Achashverosh conveyed by the officers?” 16 Memukhan presented the king and vice-regents this answer: “Vashti the queen has wronged not only the king, but also all the officials and all the peoples in all the provinces of King Achashverosh; 17 because this act of the queen’s will become known to all the women, who will then start showing disrespect toward their own husbands; they will say, ‘King Achashverosh ordered Vashti the queen to be brought before him, but she wouldn’t come.’ 18 Moreover, the noble ladies of Persia and Media who hear of the queen’s conduct will mention it to all the king’s officials, which will bring about no end of disrespect and discord. 19 If it pleases his majesty, let him issue a royal decree — and let it be written as one of the laws of the Persians and Medes, which are irrevocable — that Vashti is never again to be admitted into the presence of King Achashverosh, and that the king give her royal position to someone better than she. 20 When the edict made by the king is proclaimed throughout the length and breadth of the kingdom, then all wives will honor their husbands, whether great or small.” 21 This advice pleased the king and the officials, so the king did what Memukhan had suggested — 22 he sent letters to all the royal provinces, to each province in its own script and to each people in their own language, that every man should be master in his own house and speak the language of his own people.
