June 9, 2025, Ester 6:14-7:6
14 While
they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring
Haman to the feast that Esther had prepared.
7 So the
king and Haman went in to feast with Queen Esther. 2 And
on the second day, as they were drinking wine after the feast, the king again
said to Esther, “What is your wish, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you.
And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be
fulfilled.” 3 Then Queen Esther answered, “If
I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my
life be granted me for my wish, and my people for my request. 4 For
we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to
be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would
have been silent, for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the
king.” 5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther,
“Who is he, and where is he, who has dared to do
this?” 6 And Esther said, “A foe and enemy!
This wicked Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
Queen Esther reveals
Haman’s evil plan to her husband, the king, and points her finger to Haman as
being “wicked”!
The Bible states that
Haman is terrified. Rightly so! What a reminder that God’s timing is perfect.
The ‘wait’ often finds us questioning God’s purpose/plan yet sometimes it’s in
the ‘wait’ that God is preparing us for something great.
What will your posture be
when called to wait?
