Esther 4-7

Wicked Haman proposed a plan to the king that would annihilate the Jews. Mordecai and Esther had all the Jews fast and afflict themselves for 3 days before Esther would approach the king to beg for mercy. God gave her favor to intercede for her people. The king reversed the edict and had Haman impaled on the pole he designed for Mordecai. God reversed the tables.

When impending doom threatens God’s people, they should likewise fast and pray that He would mercifully spare them. God can turn the fortunes of their oppressors and cause their devices to backfire.

What is meant for evil can turn to good.
