Read: Esther 6:1-13
“... If God is for us, who can be against us?” - Romans 8:31
When King Xerxes elevated Haman to the highest position, all the royal officials at the king’s gate knelt down and paid him respect except Mordecai. So Haman became furious and he plotted one night to get the king’s permission to hang Mordecai on the gallows as a prelude to destroying all the Jews. But while Haman was making his wicked plans, God was working on behalf of Mordecai. Esther 6:1 says, “That night the king could not sleep; so he ordered the book of the chronicles, the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him.” And he found recorded there that Mordecai had once saved the king from being assassinated. The king asked his servants what honor was bestowed on Mordecai for this, and heard that nothing was done. God’s timing of events was perfect again. At that very moment Haman walked in, planning to ask the king permission to hang Mordecai. But before Haman could open his mouth, the King asked Haman, what he thought could be done for one whom the king desired to honor. Thinking that the king on any account would not honor anyone but him, Haman suggested that the man should be taken in a royal procession, wearing royal robe and the royal crest. But to his astonishment Haman heard the king ordering, “Go and do as you have suggested to Mordecai.”
Dear friends, Satan uses his men to act against God’s people. In the case of Mordecai he used Haman. But, the Lord thwarted the plan of the devil and exalted Mordecai to the highest rank! So let us not be afraid of Satan’s wicked schemes, but be confident that the Lord will turn everything for our good.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, though the devil plans to destroy me, I am sure that he cannot harm me because I am Your child. You will never allow the devil to ruin me, but You will rescue me miraculously and bless me in a special way. Thank You Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
