Scene 6 — The Risk
THE STORY OF ESTHER — Part 6: The Risk
On the third day of the fast — Esther put on her royal robes.
She walked through the inner court of the palace toward the throne room, knowing that what she was doing could end her life before she spoke a single word.
The king looked up from his throne.
He saw her standing in the court.
And he held out the golden sceptre.
She was welcome.
But Esther did not rush. Three days of prayer and fasting had given her more than courage — they had given her wisdom and precision. She did not immediately lay out the accusation. She invited the king and Haman to a banquet. Then a second banquet.
She was moving carefully — waiting for the moment God had prepared, not the moment her own anxiety demanded.
There is something profound in that.
On the third day of the fast, Esther put on her royal robes.t every open door means you run through it immediately. Sometimes favour must be handled with patience, prayer, and precise timing.
Esther had survived the first step.
The most important moment was still ahead.
