Text Version | English | Italian

Het jou pa al ooit vir jou gesê dat jy iewers heen MOES gaan en dit was regtig die LAASTE plek op die aarde waarheen jy wou gaan? En het jy uiteindelik agtergekom dat jy GEEN ander keuse gehad het, behalwe as om te GAAN nie? Het jy blymoedig gehoorsaam of het jy probeer om die lewe vir jou pa moeilik te maak?

Soms vra God ons om iewers te gaan waarheen ons liewer NIE sou wou gaan nie. Dink jy dit is die beste om Hom BLYMOEDIG te gehoorsaam en net te DOEN wat Hy wil hê?

“Maar ek WIL nie gaan nie!” het Ester hardop uitgeroep.

A royal proclamation was made throughout the kingdom of Persia calling for all suitable young women to apply for the position of queen “Jy MOET gaan, Ester. Dit word van elke meisie ouer as veertien verwag om in te skryf,” het haar neef Mórdegai verduidelik. Ester se ouers het gesterf toe sy jonk was en hy het haar aangeneem as sy eie dogter.

Ester het haar arms gekruis en gesê, “Ek wil nie 'n koningin wees nie. Ek is gelukkig waar ek nou is. Daar is in elk geval tonne ander meisies wat inskryf vir die skoonheidskompetisie. Ek sal nie saakmaak nie.”

“Jy MOET inskryf, Ester, en DIT is FINAAL. Buitendien, jy weet nie eens of jy gekies sal word of nie. Daar is baie ander meisies wat inskryf. Jy is een van baie. Jy MOET gaan,” het Mórdegai gesê. “Dit is die Koning se bevel.”

Ester het deur die kamer gestrompel en die tafel begin skoonmaak. “Ek sal gaan, maar ek sal NIE daarvan hou nie.”

When Modecai heard the king was looking for a new queen he suggested that Esther appy and she agreed to try Mórdegai het gesug. “Ester, jy moenie so optree nie. Jy moet blymoedig wees. Ek wil hê jy moet jou beste doen. As jy dit nie vir die Koning wil doen nie, doen dit vir my. Asseblief?”

Die meisie het vir die man geglimlag. “Reg so, Mórdegai. Ek sal gaan en ek sal blymoedig gaan.”

Mórdegai het dankbaar geglimlag. “Dankie. Gaan nou bed toe. Jy moet moreoggend vertrek en jy het rus nodig.”

Ester het haar neef 'n drukkie gegee. “Goeie nag.”

Hy het haar 'n drukkie terug gegee en gesê, “Goeie nag, Ester.”

Toe Ester by die kamer begin uitloop, het Mórdegai haar geroep en gesê, “Ester, wag. Daar is nog een ding.”

Ester het geaarsel en gesê, “Ja?”

“Jy moet NIEMAND laat agterkom dat jy 'n Jood is nie. Verstaan jy?”

Sy het in reaksie daarop haar kop geknik. “Ja, ek verstaan. Goeie nag.”

“Goeie nag,” het hy gesê toe sy uitgaan.

Toe Ester onder die komberse op die bed gelê het, het sy begin dink aan wat gaan gebeur. Dit het 'n bietjie skrikwekkend geklink dat sy 'n hele jaar lank in die paleis sou moes deurbring net om gereed gemaak te word om die Koning te sien. Op 'n manier was dit egter opwindend. Maar, wat as sy gekies word om die Koning se nuwe koningin te wees? Ester het gesidder. Dit sou nie gebeur nie, SOU DIT?

Toe die volgende dag aanbreek, het Ester ekstra vroeg die oggend wakker geword en haar goedjies ingepak. Sy was nie bang om die huis te verlaat nie. Haar neef sou elke dag by haar kom besoek aflê, want hy het by die paleis gewerk as 'n mindere amptenaar.

Na ontbyt, het Ester buitentoe gestap en onder 'n wilgerboom daar naby gaan sit en wag vir Mórdegai om te kom. Die son het helder om die lang boomtakke geskyn en Ester kon die bloeisels in die lug ruik.

Gou het Mórdegai uit die huis gekom en onder die boom by haar kom staan. “Jy dink hard, Ester,” het hy vir haar geglimlag. “Ek kan dit op jou gesig sien.”

Esther went to the palace and joined the other beautiful women Ester het geknik. “Ek hoop nie ek word gekies om Koningin te wees nie.”

“O, Ester. Ek weet jy is bang vir so 'n groot taak. Jy moenie net bid vir wat JY wil hê nie, maar vir wat GOD van jou wil hê.” Ester het verward gelyk. Mórdegai het gesug.

“Wat ek bedoel is,” het hy stadig begin sê, “jy kan nie die hele tyd vra vir wat jy wil hê nie, omdat dit dalk nie is wat God wil hê nie. Daarom jy moet vra vir wat God wil hê.”

“Maar ek WEET nie wat God wil hê nie,” het Ester gesê en opgestaan.

“Daarom,” het Mórdegai gesê, “moet jy bid, ‘God, ek sal doen wat ook al U wil is.’ Verstaan jy??”

“Ek dink…beteken dit, in plaas van om te sê, ‘God, moet asseblief nie dat die Koning my kies vir sy koningin nie,’ moet ek sê, ‘God, as U wil hê ek moet Koningin word, dan sal ek gelukkig wees met U besluit’?” het Ester huiwerig gevra.

Mórdegai het teen die boom gesit. “Ja, ek dink jy verstaan.” Hy het opgestaan en gesê, “Kom, laat ons nou na die Koning se paleis gaan.”

Die jaar het vir Ester gevoel asof dit baie, baie stadig verbygegaan het. Sy het natuurlik altyd haar beste voetjie voorgesit, maar het nie gehou van al die skoonheidsbehandelings, wat sy en die ander meisies moes ondergaan nie.

A whole year passed as the women were given beauty treatments and perfumes in preparation Ester was onder die versorging geplaas van 'n man genaamd Hegai, wat vir die meisies al die dinge moes gee wat hulle nodig gehad het gedurende die jaar. Ester het vriende met hom geword en hy het haar voorgetrek en spesiale goed vir haar en haar sewe dienaresse gegee. Hegai het ook vir Ester en haar dienaresse die beste kamer in die paleis gegee.

Soos die dae en maande verbygegaan het, het Mórdegai gedoen soos wat hy belowe het en Ester elke dag besoek om te sien hoe dit met haar gegaan het. Die lang proses van reinigings, olies, parfuums en ander dinge, het haar begin verveel, maar Ester het ook haar belofte gehou en blymoedig opgetree in alles wat sy gedoen het.

Twaalf maande het verbygegaan en dit het tyd geword dat Ester die koning sou ontmoet. Terwyl Hegai die pragtige meisie deur die tuine na die Koning se paleis gelei het, het dienaars in hulle spore gestop om na haar skoonheid te staar. Dieselfde het ook binne die Koning se paleis gebeur en almal het gelyk of hulle van Ester gehou het.

As soon as the king saw Esther he fell in love with her for he liked Esther more than all the other young women hoping to become queen “Ester, moenie vir die Koning bang wees nie,” het Hegai vir haar gesê toe hulle deur 'n versierde gang geloop het. “Hy mag dalk die magtigste man in die hele Persië wees, maar hy byt nie,” het hy gegiggel.

Ester het geglimlag oor die aanmerking en aan die lang rooi rok wat sy gedra het, getrek. “Lyk ek reg?” het sy skamerig gevra.

Hegai het geglimlag en gesê, “Pragtig.”

Toe hulle by die troonkamer aankom, het Ester diep asemgehaal en haar oë toe gemaak. Dit was meer skrikwekkend as wat sy gedink het dit sou wees. Sy het na die end van die kamer geloop waar Koning Ahasvéros gesit het en voor hom gekniel.

“Liewe Here,” het sy saggies gebid, “laat U wil geskied. As ek hierdie man se Koningin moet wees, laat dit so wees.”

DINK!

1. Wie was Mordegai?
2. Sou Mordegai vir Ester na 'n plek laat gaan waar sy onveilig sou wees?
3. Het Mordegai seker gemaak dat dit goed gaan met Ester? Hoe?
4. Wie was Hegai?
5. Het Hegai Ester goed behandel?
6. Wat was die Koning se naam?


ONTHOU

God het 'n baie belangrike plan vir jou lewe.


'N VERS OM TE LEER

“Daarom moet jy na die stem van die HERE jou God luister”
(Deuteronómium 27:10a).


ALTERNATIEWE VERSE OM TE LEER:

“Kinders, julle moet julle ouers gehoorsaam in die
Here, want dit is reg” (Efésiërs 6:1).

“Kinders, julle moet jul ouers in alles gehoorsaam
wees, want dit is die Here welbehaaglik” (Kolossense 3:20).


PRAKTIESE TOEPASSING

Dink aan 'n keer toe jou ma of pa jou gevra het om
te gaan na 'n plek waarvan jy net mooi NIKS HOU
NIE. Hoe het jy opgetree? Het jy dit vir jou pa en
ma regtig baie moeilik gemaak? Was dit die moeite
werd? Moes jy toe maar in ELK GEVAL gaan?

[Na bespreking:] Is dit nie maar beter om
BLYMOEDIG te gehoorsaam en te gaan waarheen jy
gesê word om te gaan nie? Word God verheerlik
wanneer ons ongehoorsaam is?



LAAT ONS BID

Dog and boy praying

****************************************************
Liewe God, help my om blymoedig te gehoorsaam.
Leer my om U te vertrou.
Help my om te verstaan dat U weet wat die beste is vir my.
In Jesus se Naam. Amen.
