#ScriptureReflection - Esther D:7-11 (8.31.22)

As he looked up in extreme anger, his features fiery and majestic, the queen staggered, turned pale and fainted, collapsing against the maid in front of her. But God changed the king’s anger to gentleness. In great anxiety he sprang from his throne, held her in his arms until she recovered, and comforted her with reassuring words.

“What is it, Esther?” he said to her. “I am your brother. Take courage! 10  You shall not die; this order of ours applies only to our subjects. 11  Come near!”
