OUR KING WILL ALWAYS PROTECT US
God doesn’t care about our background; He wants the best for those that love Him. He will protect us and He will never leave us – just like the King did for Esther.
I rated King Ahasuerus in this chapter because he had to make a difficult decision. Haman was very close to Him, they were buddies and he probably loved him in a ‘bromance’ way. However, when it came to making a decision that would either benefit his friend or his wife. He chose his WIFE.
To the Ladies: Pray for a husband that will put you first above the opinions of his friends.
To the Men: Your (future) wife is your love, your BEST friend, you and her are ONE and you ought to love her in the same way Christ loved the church. Don’t lose a good thing in order to please your friends.
‘HA-HA’-HAMAN! YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!
Whatever you intend on using to hurt another will often turn around to hurt you. If you’re sowing wickedness, trying to put someone down, it will boomerang and come back to you! God won’t wink at it. Just look at Haman.
‘Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.’ (Proverbs 26:27)
So, we can see the danger of trying to lay a trap for another to fall into. If we do, we’ll eventually fall into the trap ourselves. If you’re feeling revengeful; pray and leave it to God, just like Esther did.
PRIDE AND DESTRUCTION ARE GOOD FRIENDS
You can either be humble or be humiliated! ‘Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.’ (Proverbs 16:18) So far we have seen how the prideful nature of Haman led Him to set up his own death. Pride can be such a subtle sin for us; we need to keep ourselves in check. Always pray, ‘less of me and more of you Lord’!
