Esther 7The story of Esther’s intervention to save her people is not a story of revenge. It is a reminder to all those who would seek to do a great injustice that God has a way of turning treachery around. Haman still awaits judgment. He will stand before Jesus Christ who will judge him for all of his evil works, including his plot to commit genocide. But those like Haman who would seek their own success at the cost of others should know that sometimes God allows a sneak peek of that judgment. He allows consequences to come to those who do evil. The gallows Haman had prepared for Mordecai is a symbol of those consequences.
LORD, when we are tempted to get our own way at the expense of others, remind us of Haman’s gallows.
