Esther 7
Today's Scripture

In this passage of Scripture, we see how Esther and her people the Jews were vindicated. Esther had shown patience in prayer and fasting, waiting upon God for his timing. When she told the king that Haman was the man who had planned to destroy her people, the king's action was severe and swift. Haman died on the very gallows he was preparing for Mordecai.

Sometimes it looks like the enemies in our lives are gaining ground. We may feel we are always the losers, and others seem to benefit in this life more than we do. "Life is not fair" may even become our slogan.

While it may be true that unjustice comes to the innocent, in the end we know that the true King and Judge will come to judge all for their deeds or misdeeds. And if we claim Christ as our Savior, he will see that the blood of our Lord has washed us clean.

Let's live in the victory we know we have day by day. There are set backs in life, but they are temporary. We may lose a few battles along the way, but we know the one who has won the war. Let's be sure to be on the winning side.
