"But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him." Esther 1:12
This was a very costly decision by the queen. In her pride she refused her husband's call. It not only cost her his respect, but that of all in the kingdom and the kingdom itself!
This simple portrait can be related to the call of Christ. Many today, in their pride refuse Him too, being comfortable where they are. They see no need nor the long term consequences.
If He's speaking to you, will you heed His call or will you reject in great disrespect? For some this may pertain to your salvation for others, He desires your presence in willful obedience. Question is, what is your response to the King of kings?
