Est 2:1 “After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti…”
Interesting passage in that king Ahasuerus was now in memory of what his anger and Vashti, the queen’s, pride brought about. What the king desired was lost by his own decree/law. We often damaged relationships within the family of God with emotional, revengeful, or prideful responses when hurt. Such responses often bring about more remorse than relief, causing appeasement to result in resentment towards oneself. There’s very little in life that cannot be restored to an original or greater value, we must be cautious in our emotional reactions as not to cause more damage. Remember, we’re all in the process of restoration from the Father; likewise let’s focus on restoring and avoid regretting.
If one’s emotional wellbeing is driven by vindicating who or what is right & wrong, one will be an emotional wreck… HSAY
