- And Esther said, “A foe and enemy! This wicked Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen. Esther 7:6 – Up until this moment Haman thought he was going the right direction. Yet when our sin suddenly gets brought into the spotlight we see it for what it really is and we see all the deception that was hiding in the darkness all along. Haman here learned his path of following his sin was the wrong one to take. Have you learned that lesson yet? What if today a spotlight shone on your sin, what deception that you’ve been listening to would be uncovered? Let God’s Word today be that spotlight in your life. The sin in our lives is leading us to a place God never created us to go. Let God’s Word shine a light into your life and anything that’s been hiding in the darkness that shouldn’t be there, get rid of. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 916
- And the king returned from the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, as Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. And the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?” As the word left the mouth of the king, they covered Haman’s face. Esther 7:8 – Haman, the “foe and enemy” of the Jews as Queen Esther called him, had created and was executing flawlessly a plan to annihilate the whole of the Jewish people. Things were moving perfectly for him and it looked as if God’s people were going to be ended. What we see though in this chapter is Haman enjoying wine and food with the king yet only moments later his sin was exposed. The next thing he sees is darkness because they covered his face to hang him. We see here what power an earthly king has over those that wrong him. How much more power though does our Heavenly King Jesus have over His enemy! Sometimes it can look and feel as if Satan is executing his plans flawlessly and is enjoying the feast of his work. Remember though the power of our King. He isn’t going to cover Satan’s head, he’s going to crush it underneath His feet. Choose then to remain faithful to King Jesus, trusting in His power, even when the enemy sure seems to be taking the victory. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2523
