“And the king said to her, ‘What do you want, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you – up to half my kingdom’.”
“So Esther answered, “If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him’.” Esther 5:3-4
Esther first honored and served the king.
Lord, I thank You that I can come to You at any time with anything, but first desire to bring You honor and glory and praise. And here’s a simple poem . . .
Honoring Him

as I come to You
with a burden
on my heart
that as I first
praise and worship You
the problem
may depart?
