Esther 5Haman had many accolades. He admitted that himself. But he could see nothing but his envy of Mordecai. When his wife and friends suggested that he have a gallows made upon which to kill Mordecai, he could not see the possibility that the plan would backfire, leading to his own death. Such is the blindness caused by envy. God’s people should be content, not only with what they have, but also with what others have. Many a person and ministry has been destroyed by envy of others.
LORD, strengthen our hearts so that we stand before you, unhindered by other people’s possessions and positions.
