EXPLAIN
Today's reading: Esther 4-6

"If Your Majesty is pleased with me and wants to grant my request, please come with Haman tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for you. Then tomorrow I will explain what this is all about." Esther 5:8 NLT

Explain-to make known; to make plain or understandable; to give the reason for or cause of.

Oh, admirable Esther!

Instead of spilling your guts at the first opportunity, you waited for God to give you the words.

Instead of baring your soul in a moment of emotional turmoil, you gave yourself time to pray and select carefully chosen words.

Instead of pointing the finger immediately at Haman, you allowed God to step in and work more wonders in that the king couldn't sleep that night, Haman was humbled and Mordecai was honored.

Instead of taking things into your own hands, you placed them in God's and let Him work out the details--in His time and in His way.

Let me follow your example!
