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.
"Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling o the couch where Esther was reclining." Esther 7:8
King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) in this chapter had to make a
difficult decision. Haman was very close to Him, they were buddies and he
probably loved him in a ‘bromance’ way. Sort of like Adam & Blake Shelton
on The Voice! However, when it came to making a decision that would either
benefit his friend or his wife. He chose his WIFE.
Ladies I Pray that your husband or future husband will
always put you first above the opinions of his friends.
Wives, and future wives, love your husband & be his
BEST friend, you and he are ONE and he ought to love you in the same way Christ
loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). Don’t lose a good thing in order to please
your friends.
‘HA-HA’-HAMAN!
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!
Galatians 6:7 says: “Do not be deceived; God cannot be
mocked. We reap what we 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’!
To live for the greatness of God is to live the great life.
