The Best of the Feast
Aug.2, 2016 – Esther 6
Aren’t I The Best?
Please join with us sharing God’s Word
daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in
God’s Word in approximately three years.
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully Feast in Esther 6;
The Lord God gives King Ahasuerus insomnia so he reads about Mordecai’s prior
service. The king is impressed and decides to reward Mordecai. Haman
(being a legend in his own mind) believes the king wants to honor himself not
Mordecai. Haman plots against Mordecai as his friends tell him how
to plan Mordecai’s death; “13 Yet all this is worth
nothing to me, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
14 Then his wife Zereshand 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
6:13-14, English Standard Version (ESV). I think the
lesson we get hear would be two fold;
1. Is not to
count ourselves as more valuable than another person
2. Talking
and plotting against anyone behind their back never turns out good
God left us specific instructions of how
to approach those who are caught in transgressions. “1Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you
who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on
yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is
nothing, he deceives himself.” Galatians
6:1-3, ESV. In the third verse we are told not to
think we are legends in our own mind. Tomorrow we will see what
happens to Haman, for backbiting and boasting. If the Lord is
willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.
