She Acted Wisely, Bravely, and Selflessly - Patience Paves the Way for Jusice- Conclusion

Agitate, the king asked what court officials were available to help him correct this oversight. Of call people, Haman was in the king's court-early, it seems because he was eager to secure permission to execute Mordecai. But before Haman  could make his request, the king asked him how best to honor a man who had won the the king's favor.  Haman assumed that the king had him in mind.  So Haman devised a lavish honor: Clothe the man in royal garb, and have a high official  parade him around Shushan on the king's own horse, calling out the man's praises for all to hear. Imagine the expression on Haman's face when he learned that the man to be honored was Mordecai! And whom did the king assign to sing out Mordecai's praises?  Haman! - ESTHER 6:4-10.

Haman grudgingly carried out what to him was odious duty and then  rushed home in distress. His wife and friends said that this turn of events could bode ill; he was bound to fail in his fight against Mordecai the Jew.  - ESTHER6:12, 13.  

Because Esther was patient, waiting for that one extra day to present her request to the king, Haman was given time to lay the basis for his own downfall. And might not Jehovah God have been behind the king's sleeplessness? ( Proverbs 21:1)  Little wonder that God's Word encourages us to show "a waiting attitude?  (Read Micah 7:7.)  When we wait on God, we may find that his solutions to our problems far exceed anyting that we might have devised ourselves.
