Caught In a Trap

July 24, 2012           Caught in a Trap      Esther 6 - 10


Scripture.  So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself? Esther 6:6


Observations. So it goes for those who seek to aggrandize themselves.  They get caught in the traps they would set for others and burn in jealousy when another is elevated.


Application.  Ve Humble.  Seek the lowest place at the table. Do good work not for worldly reward.


Prayer.  God, you know me and my weakness for wanting to appear successful at all times.  Be my peace, Jesus.  Amen.
