Read: Esther 6-10
Yesterday, everything looked bleak for Esther, Mordecai and the Jews. In a day, everything turned. I wondered if Esther looked for Mordecai to come and encourage her before her banquet. He was out being paraded around the city by his adversary, Haman. Did Esther know this was going on? I doubt she did. She was left to face that night alone and had to lean on the Lord alone. But God had been working all night on her behalf. He had set up the whole scene to make her be heard and get what she was asking. While Haman was building a gallows to hang Mordecai, God was building a case for Mordecai and against Haman. He fell right into his own trap.
What a picture of Satan’s end. He will receive what he has given which is death. Esther was given the house of Haman. We will be given the earth again. Mordecai was given the ring of the king which is the power to make all the decisions. The Holy Spirit will be in control once Satan is defeated in our lives. The Jews were given permission to stand up and fight for their lives and take the spoil from their enemies. The fear of the Jews fell on the people. When we take our place and realize who we are and the power of God inside us, the world will be afraid of us. We are to be a power that cannot be stopped. God is looking for passion and commitment in his people so he can move on our behalf. He has given this earth to us to possess. We need to possess our kingdom in the name of Jesus and for his glory.
Lord, make us passionate for you and your kingdom on earth.
