Haman grudgingly carried out what to him was an odious duty and then rushed home in distress. His wife and friends said that this turn of events could only bode ill; he was bound to fail in his fight against Mordecai the Jew.
Because Esther was patient, waiting 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 anything that we may have devised ourselves.
