July 6. Proverbs ch 7-9
DON’T FEAR THE GALLOWS
Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, “Moreover, the gallows that Haman has prepared for Mordecai, whose word saved the king, is standing at Haman’s house, fifty cubits high.” And the king said, “Hang him on that.” So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the wrath of the king abated. Esther 7:9-10 ESV
GOOD DAY: Thank be to God who doesn’t forget any of His children. I believe He wants to really work out His salvation in the lives of those that are tormented. Are you afraid and being tormented by a ‘powerful’ person who decides he will not rest until he finishes you? Like Haman he is probably wanting every and anything related to you dead? Relax and be calm, leave the battle to God. Refuse to be moved or plan any worldly strategy. Let God lead and fight your battle. See the father of such people and circumstances.
Then Haman said, “Even Queen Esther let no one but me come with the king to the feast she prepared. And tomorrow also I am invited by her together with the king. Yet all this is worth nothing to me, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.” Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mordecai hanged upon it. Then go joyfully with the king to the feast.” This idea pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.
Esther 5:12-14 ESV
Your presence makes the Hamman spirit unhappy as long as you are alive no matter what good things he has his way. Be calm, his plans will fall on himself.
Contrary to all advice and good sense, Haman still continued planning for annihilation of Mordecai and all Jews.
“And Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the Jewish people, you will not overcome him but will surely fall before him.”
Esther 6:13 ESV
End of the story is:
Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, “Moreover, the gallows that Haman has prepared for Mordecai, whose word saved the king, is standing at Haman’s house, fifty cubits high.” And the king said, “Hang him on that.” So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the wrath of the king abated. Esther 7:9-10 ESV
Haman’s plans for Mordecai became his portion. Haman used his hands to write and execute his own judgment. Oppressed and threatened by the ‘powerful’ and power drunk person, God is talking to you today for as much as He is your strength and refuge. Your Haman will self destroy.
PRAY: Dear Lord, prevent me from being Haman in anybody’s life. Give me Your love and empathy to the lowly and disadvantaged.
