Bring it to the Lord

Then the king said to her, "What is troubling you, Queen Esther? And what is your request? {Est 5:3}

The Queen risked her very life approaching the King without a specific invitation. The penalty for this error was death. She did so to bring to his attention a plan that would result in the slaughter of thousands of her kinsmen, and at the same time reveal to the King that she herself was a Jew. God heard her prayers. She and her people were spared.

And it shall come about that when he cries out to Me, I will hear him, for I am gracious. {Exo 22:27}

Jesus is our doorway into the court of the Almighty. His horrible death on the cross paid the price for us. We belong to Him. We owe EVERYTHING to Him; including our very lives. Jesus did this out of love. He loves us!

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. (17) By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. (18) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. (19) We love, because He first loved us. {1Jn 4:16-19}

Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. {Heb 10:22}

For through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. {Eph 2:18}...in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him. {Eph 3:12}

Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. {Heb 4:16}
