Lift up my eyes to the mountains

Esther 5:1-8
When king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter.
Esther asked king together with Haman come to the banquet Esther had prepared. Then king asked Esther what is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted.
Esther did not say but asked Haman and king come to her banquet next day.
The king permits a audience. But Esther proceeds cannily(大膽). She invites the king and his favorite to dinner. In the mellow(醇厚) after-dinner atmosphere she give a second invitation.
Why?
Under the blessing of the Lord, king liked Queen Esther and permitted her coming to court.
This is the power of the Lord, when we have trouble, let's pray to the Lord, God will make the great things.
How?
Expect God make great things! This is my faith and my strength.  lift up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121:1).
