But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we this speak.
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Esther 6:9
And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the streets of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
verse 1, may God take away sleep from those that are in position to help us and cos them to hasten up to remember us and help us. also let those who plan for our down fall be the ones that will experience it
Verse 6 shows the folly of being presumptuous. Haman assumed the king was talking about honoring him but he was sadly mistaken. We want to avoid jumping to conclusions and this can save us shame and embarrassment.
We must always remember the promises the Lord made to us are going to come to pass. The scripture plainly says that pride goes before the fall. Haman was so full of pride that he thought no one could touch him, but he is beginning to fear the consequences of all the evil things he had been planning. His family and friends also knew what would take place.
Modeicaiah's case is something that every christian who wish to attain greatness must emulate.Though he revealed a conspiracy,he was not borthered about his promotion.He remained a common gateman,until his time came.
v13, ...If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him. Zeresh was actually giving her husband a prophecy which came to pass Jews were God 's chosen people.
God is so amazing, for he chooses his own in the midst of our enemies who tries to destroy us, because the battle is the lord...to read and understand the book of Esther...it is so lovely and a blessing that she was a chosen woman out of all the lot,for her people to be saved. Praise the Lord!!
Such a great book this is...As fast as Haman received all his clout as fast asit was being removed from him. Mordecai deserved all that was good coming to him for he raisd a brave an obedient lady up.
True Exaltation and Honour is from God. The way or manner for one's honour to manifest is in GOD's hand. It may not be all roses, but it will surely come. Haman's selfishness is for Mordecai's Glory. God is limitless in power; He can change every negative situation in my life in a twinkling of an eye.
Everything is in God's hands, even sleep. He knows when to keep someone awake to work in His people's favour. God kept Ahasuerus awake to honour Mordecai who honoured (Ahasuerus by protecting his life) and God, by bowing to God alone; because GOD said 'they that honour me I will honour'
So he decided to read a book
The book of his legal records
He decided to take a look
He was reminded of the time
When Mordecai reported the plot
The king wanted to know
How he had been thanked for his troth
Nothing had been done
Not yet for this man
The king wanted to reward him
Thank him for his stand
Haman had just arrived
To ask for Mordecai's death
The king asked for Haman's presence
They hadn't spoken just yet
He asked what should I do
To honor a good man
Hey man thought he would get
All that he can
He must be speaking of me
I am the man he upholds
I would give him a royal horse
Put on him a royal robe
I was slowly parade this man
Through the city streets
Proclaiming his royal honor
For all of the people to see
Go do these things at once
You'll leave the horse, yes you
Do all that you recommended
For Mordecai the Jew
Haman robed Mordecai
Led him through the city streets
Proclaiming his honor for all
For all the people to hear and see
Mordecai went back to rest
Sit down at the palace gate
Haman rush home and told his wife
All about his day
She said he must forget
About his malicious plan
Because now the Jew he hated
Was a famed and honored man
Haman was not happy
For he knew what she said was true
How did the tables turn?
Now he must honor the Jew
It's time for Esther's banquet
Where the king wants to hear her voice
Haman had to hurry
To attend he had no choice
(By Esther Coleman-Spells)
