Preparation!

Esther 2:12

"Before a girl's turn came to go in to King Xerxes, she had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women, six months with oil of myrrh and six with perfumes and cosmetics."

did a short research...

- six months of treatment with oil of myrrh (Esther 2:12). Myrrh is both bitter and pleasantly fragrant. It was used to embalm people, and was burned at funerals to disguise the smell of dead flesh, yet it heals many ailments. It both removes impurities and softens the skin. Treatment with myrrh represents repentance, dying to self, and the sweetness of losing our lives and finding them (Matthew 16:25). Myrrh removed the smell of flesh from Esther. 

- received another six months of perfumes and cosmetics. These probably included frankincense and other spices. Frankincense releases its fragrance when set on fire. This treatment represents praise and worship, becoming a sweet aroma unto the Lord, bowing before Him and focusing on Him. Esther was saturated with worship (symbolic meaning).. 

Then in Esther 4:14 "yet who knows whether u have come into e Kingdom for such a time as this?"

And when u read on, God did a supernatural work for Mordecai, Esther n all e jews. Becos of Esther's preparation, God changed e destiny of e Jews n generations! 

Jus felt, we're saturating ourselves w "preparation"... The sufferings will cause e "flesh" to die... N our worship gets deeper..

God will do a mighty work for CHC n our lives!
