Esther 8:6

"She said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seems right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces."

Key Reflection

Esther's plea for reversal underscores her reliance on divine favor and the king's power. By seeking the king's approval and permission, she aligns herself with God's plan to save the Jews, illustrating how human intercession must harmonize with divine providence for effective action.
