In this passage of God’s Word we see a man named Haman that has invested his life into some very sinful things. By taking a look at him in this story we too can have a warning against investing into the wrong things, and an encouragement to continually and intentionally invest into God’s Kingdom over our own.

When you invest into the wrong things:

1. You’re terrified of the truth
Esth. 7:1-6, Matt. 6:19-21, 1 Cor. 4:5, Luke 8:17, 12:3, Mark 4:22
2. You do increasingly sinful things
Esth. 7:7-8, 2 Tim. 3:13, Rom. 1:28-32, 2 Pet. 2:13
3. The things you’ve invested into eventually become your demise
Esth. 6:12, Rom. 12:10, 1 Pet. 2:17-19

Reflection Questions

1. After taking a look at this seventh chapter in Esther, what stands out to you the most? If you’re familiar with the story, did you notice anything that you haven’t noticed before?
2. Haman invested into things that ultimately did not pan out the way that he thought that they would. What have you invested into in the past that hasn’t panned out the way you thought it would. Do you regret investing into those things? Why or why not?
3. Haman was terrified when the truth about his plan came out to the king. Is there anything that you’re doing in this season of your life, that if anyone found out you were doing it, you would be terrified?
4. Take an inventory of your life. List the top 5 things that you are investing into. Are those things glorifying to God? Why or why not?
5. Is there anything that you can change about where you are investing your life into that you could change to better glorify God? If so, what practical step(s) can you take towards accomplishing that? Who will keep you accountable to that?
