Haman's Friends

Scripture:

Esther 6:13 "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will surely fall before him".

Observation:

Haman had plans to kill Mordecai. He hated Mordecai because Mordecai wouldn't bow down before him. He had built a gallows specifically for Mordecai the night before and now his luck was running out. When the gallows were finished, the king decided to honor Mordecai and made Haman do it. Haman told his friends and they understood what was going on. Apparently they had heard or seen how God works on behalf of His people. They knew that the Jews had a God that would bring about Haman's fall. They prophesied their friend's fall.

Application:

If Haman's friends, who were not Jews, nor followers of God, understood the power of God, how much more should we as God's children understand that when God decides to bless you, every enemy will fall around you. They could see it better than most Christians today. When God decides to bless you, there is no power, decree, or anything else that can stop His blessing. Haman's friends realized that Haman was going to fall simply because he was messing with God's child. We should realize how much God loves us and that He will fight our battles. We are in the hands of a great God who loves us immeasurably.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for showing me how awesome You are. Thanks for reminding me that nothing can stand against the person who is standing for You. You truly are amazing and your enemies should fear You. Let me see as clearly as Haman's friends how much you have my back.

Your Son,

Jeff
