Read Esther 8 in context

Scripture Focus

3And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.

4Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,

5And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:

Esther 8:3-5

Biblical Context

Esther intercedes before the king, pleading for mercy and asking that a destructive decree be reversed. The scene models inner petition and decisive authority moving from fear to justice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther in the inner drama is your awakened I AM rising to meet fear with grace. Haman's device is a decree born of doubt; the Jews are the sacred life in your mind. When you fall to the inner floor and plead, you are submitting the old self to the truth of awareness. The golden sceptre—the moment of acknowledgment—says you may stand and declare a new order. If it seems right in your heart and you found favor in the sight of your king, let a new letter be written from the innermost state: reverse the sentence of destruction and set forth mercy, justice, and salvation throughout your provinces of mind. The act of revision is not cunning but conviction: you choose the state of consciousness that makes the present appearance yield to the new decree. Feel it as real now, and you will see the outer scene respond as the law of your mind.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the reversal now: imagine your inner king signing the new decree and the fear dissolving. Stay with that feeling until it settles as real.
