Esther 7:1-5
Esther answered, "If I have found favor with you, O king, and if ti pleases your majesty, grant me my life- this is my petition. And spare my people - this is my request. For I and my people have been sold for destruction and slander and annihilation(湮滅)"
The adversary and enemy is this vile Haman. Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen.
After dinner on the second evening, Esther makes her request. Haman is dumbfouned (錯愕).
Why?
Esther connected her life and her people together. For she wanted to save her people's life.
Esther prepared banquet for the king and Haman second times for she may know what the king will asked her, so she prepare the answer to the second banquet.
Does my petition and my request before the Lord connect to my people who do not know the Lord?
How?
Pray to the Lord save my people in my country! They do not know the truth!
