Haman had evil intensions for Mordecai. This was as a result of Mordecai's refusal to bow down to Haman. Haman had everything set in place to destroy Mordecai and the whole Jewish nation. He had received a green light from King Ahasuerus to annihilate the Jews on basis that they had different rules and did not obey the King's laws. For Mordecai he had a special gallows made ready to hang Mordecai. (Esther 3)
What Haman did not see coming was that God himself will intervene for the Jews to save them. God through Esther delivered his people from the evil plot against Mordecai and the Jews. (Esther 7)
The table had turned in the favor of Mordecai and the Jews, and rather Haman was hanged in the very gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. The decree against the Jews was also revoked. As the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. 9 Now Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.” Then the king said, “Hang him on it!” So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided (Esther 7:9-10)
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
When we dwell in the secret place of the Most High God, we will abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Our protection is from above. Psalm 91 says He shall give his angels charge over you
to keep you in all your ways. The weapon Haman fashioned, formed and forged against Mordecai and the Jews did not prosper. Rather his demise was what he had planned against God's people.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands.
And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
Amen!
