THINKING
Today's reading: Esther 1-3

"But after Xerxes' anger had cooled, he began thinking about Vashti and what she had done and the decree he had made." Esther 2:1 NLT

Thinking-exercising the powers of judgement, conception or inference; subjecting one's self to the processes of logical thought; reflecting on.

I know how Xerxes must have felt.

No, not how it felt to live in a fine palace festooned with blue and white linen hangings, marble pillars and floors of mosaic porphyry. Not even sure what that is!

Or to have an enormous number of servant's attending his every whim.

Or to have at my disposal the power to rule countries.

I know how it is to think after I've made a decision.

To have gotten the order of things out of whack.

To have regrets.

This reading has reminded me of how vital it is that I talk with God through each and every decision I come to.

Talk to Him first, not after I've made decisions I will regret.
