This is an
overview of the whole downfall of the arrogant Haman. We’ll look closer at
these two chapters in the next couple of days. Haman was humbled before the
city of Susa as the king honored Mordecai. Then at the second banquet Queen
Esther makes the plea for her life and that of the Jewish people, and Haman
makes of fool of himself. King Ahasuerus becomes angry and Haman’s life is in jeopardy.
Look at the big picture. Haman got himself in trouble and his arrogance couldn’t
rescue him.
Look at the big
picture of your life—are you headed in a good direction? Or are you seeking to
please yourself more than God or others? Check your attitude. How do you see
yourself? How do you see God working in your life?
It’s good to step
back and look at the big picture of how things are going—of how we fit into what
is happening in things around us. As a retired person I have goals—but they are
not for more than the next twenty years. As a younger person—you could make
really long term goals for yourself. Be sure to include God in your goals.
Lord Jesus, thank you for an opportunity to
look at our lives and our attitudes. Help us, mold us into who you want us to
be that we might serve you better.
