Est 5:7-8 | MHM | STEP | v. 7-8 : Instead of revealing her request right away, Esther invited the king and Haman to a second banquet the following day (Esther 5:7-8 ). This delay may have been part of Esther’s careful strategy to win more of the king’s favor and ensure the perfect moment to make her plea. It also allowed God’s providence to work in the events that would unfold that night. Esther’s patience and wisdom remind us to trust God’s timing, even when it is not immediately clear.
