She Acted Wisely, Bravely., and Selflesly - She Spoke Up Bravely

Ahasuerus demanded:  "Who  is this, and just where is the one who has emboldened himslf to to do that way?"  Imagine Esther pointing a finger as he said: "The man, hte adversary and enemy, is this bad Haman."  The accusation hung in the air. Terror filled Haman. Picture the volatile monarch's face coloring as he realized that his trusted adviser had duped him into signing an order that would destroy his own beloved wife!  The king stormed out into the garden to regain is composure. - ESTHER 7:5-7. 

Haman exposed as the scheming coward tha the was, groveled at the queen's feet.  When the king came in and saw Haman on Esther's couch pleading with her, he angrily accused Haman of attempting to raper the queen in the king's own home.  That sound the death knell for Haman. He was taken away, his face covered. One of the king's  officials than spoke up. telling the king of the huge stalke that Haman had intended for Mordecai. Ahasuerus immediately ordered that Haman himself be hanged on it. - ESTHER 7:8-10.

In today's unjust world, it is easy to imagine that we will never see justice done.  Have you ever that way? Esther never despaired, never  turned critical, never lost faith.  When the time came, she spoke up  bravely for what was right, and she trusted in Jehovah to do the rest. Let us do the same!  Jehovah had not not changed since Esther's day. He is still more than able to catch the wicked and cunning in their own traps, just as he did Haman. - Read PSALM 7:11-16.
