Queen Hadassah
Welcome to Sarahblogz!!
Guys!! I have come again with another question. So some two guys were planning to kill the King, now Queen Hadassah’s husband, then her uncle heard about it and sent the information to the Queen. The Queen informed the King in the name of her uncle. Why didn’t she just inform the King without referring to the person that brought the gist? Why was it necessary to acknowledge him? I’m just wondering. Is it necessary?
Anyway let’s dive into today’s…
So from our last episode Hadassah obeyed her uncle and chose not to disclose her nationality to anyone before and after she was made the Queen. It then happened that the King promoted a certain man in his kingdom and commanded everyone to bow and pay homage to him. You can trust Queen Hadassah’s Uncle. He refused to pay homage to that man. The servants of the King kept on querying him but it yielded no good result.
However, he had disclosed to them that he was a Jew. They went ahead to report him to the King’s right hand man. Of course you can guess that the King’s right hand man was not a preacher of love. He was a war…lol. He thereafter caused a binding law to be passed for the killing every Jew in that land. Unbelievable!! Just because they didn’t greet him, they were going to die!! Will Queen Hadassah be spared?
Again, let’s run through some life slaying nuggets from today’s story:
SILENCE IS GOLDEN: I still can’t believe that Queen Hadassah obeyed her uncle’s orders and did not disclose her identity but that same uncle disclosed his identity as Jewish to the King’s servant. Anyone who keeps his mouth, keeps his life. You do not always have to talk about everything at every time. It’s important that we don’t truncate our destiny with our own mouths. Learn the art of silence. Indeed allow the Holy spirit to teach you.
YOUR ACTIONS AFFECT OTHERS: We must understand that there are so many destinies attached to ours. We can’t afford to live carelessly and put our loved ones at risk. Let’s watch what we do because the result does not stop at our doorstep but several others. Queen Hadassah’s uncle was not going to be punished alone!!
NEVER LET POWER CORRUPT YOU: The kind of power the king’s right hand man wielded got into his head that he could not ignore the refusal of just one person to pay homage to him. Whatever you do, you have some form of influence however little, please use it well. Be careful not to get drunken with power. Submit your authority to the Real Authority- GOD.
Personally, I’m still wondering why Queen Hadassah’s uncle flaunted the orders of the King to pay homage to another man?
I can’t deny the fact that this epic story raises so many questions. I’m so glad I can learn a lot.
Thanks a lot for reading.
We love to see your comments because they keep us going. You are simply amazing!!
Love always!!
Never get drunken with the Power. Be selective in word usage, know when to response and what to say at the right moment. Thanks alot for revelation in the personality of study.
So many lessons to gain from the case study of Queen Hadassah.
Learning a lot! Thanks Sarah

May I ask to be permitted to be “Oliver Twist” this one time by asking for more?.
Real life lessons!😊😊😊😊😊
She told the King in her uncle’s name
1. Because she wasn’t interested in taking the glory for herself. She could have easily used it to curry more favor in the King’s sight (note that although she was the King’s wife, she can fall out of favor at any time like the previous Queen. So there was always a need to keep herself in the King’s favor). But she didn’t take the glory for herself
2. From beginning to end of Hadassah’s story, there was a master strategist in the background. That master strategist is God and I believe he made sure that she mentioned his name because later in the story, it played a major role (when the King honored him).
Silence is indeed golden. Thanks for reminding me that it’s expected of us to always give respect/honor to whom it is due.- In Hadassah’s case her uncle. God bless u for this piece.
