Do the right thing and our heavenly father knows us and gives us the gift in the right time

 Esther 6:1-11

That night the king could not sleep; so he ordered the book of the chronicles, the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him.

When Haman entered, the king asked him, “What should be done for the man the king delights to honor?

Now Haman thought to himself, “Who is there that the king would rather honor than me? So he answered the king, “For the man the king delights to honor, have them bring a royal robe the king has worn and a horse the king has ridden, one with a royal crest placed on its head. Then let the robe and horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them robe the man the king delights to honor, and lead him on the horse through the city streets, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!’”

Go at once,” the king commanded Haman. “Get the robe and the horse and do just as you have suggested for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything you have recommended.”

So Haman got the robe and the horse. He robed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city streets, proclaiming before him, “This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!

What should be done for the man I want to honor? he asks Haman. And Haman, misunderstanding, find he has heaped on his enemy the honors he had thought would be his own. 

Why?

Things changed so quickly. Just for the king could not sleep, it reminds the king has to honor a man who is royalty to the king.

Haman was proud, he thought he is the only king likes to honor.

No matter what situation around us, be humble and do the right things is the best way to honor our identity, a Christian.

Thing changed according to the story happened before, even we do something good and did not get any benefit but one day it will back to us.

睡不著讀歷史書,大概為了比較好睡。

皇上的朝服、御馬給其他人穿,這樣的尊榮比一切官職都高。這是王的尊榮。即使哈曼也只是王的臣僕。莫底改所得的高過哈曼。七個巧合,一個是睡不著讀歷史書,2.剛好讀到莫底改的事情,3.還會想到是否有得賞賜 4.想到要賞賜他   5.哈曼剛好來到門外。6.王沒有提莫底改的名字。7.以斯帖早已想兩天的宴席後才說。她知道中間的晚上會有這件事發生嗎?

神是背後的推手,照著神的劇本、神的時間。如果信耶穌有那麼多巧合,那麼我寧可來信耶穌。

神會幫助我們,但是神不會告訴我們如何的過程。摩西就是單純的依靠神。保羅從遇到耶穌,連串的事情,都有神的預備,事前並不知道。

為自己盤算,一切無有。哈曼已經徹底輪子。

為主擺上,為主所做的,存到永遠。
