well made plans

c2k0031Esther 6

Reading stories like this reminds us of two things about God. He is sovereign over the affairs of men, and he sometimes shows that sovereignty by orchestrating events which turn the plans of men upside down.  Those moments of irony where God upsets the schemes of people like Haman encourage us.  Even if things seem to be going according to someone else’s plan, we can still pray, and God can turn things around.

LORD, thank you for spoiling the enemy’s well-made plans.
