NOTHING IN THE WORLD CAN HELP
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6
Esther 7:7-9
1 Timothy 6:17-19
"Take the world,
but give me Jesus..."
NOTHING IN THE WORLD CAN HELP
King Ahasuerus stormed out of the banquet room into the palace garden. He was furious at what Esther had revealed to him. Sensing that the king was upset with him and would do something to him, Haman practically threw himself toward Esther the queen to beg her for his life. And when the king returned to the banquet room, he saw Haman upon the bed which Esther was on herself. He asked if Haman had become even more brazen by taking such liberties with his queen when he was around. Just as he was speaking these words, his guards sprang into action. They covered Haman’s face, probably with some hood.
Moments ago, Haman was the second most powerful man in a world superpower. But now he was but a common criminal, in custody and hooded by the imperial guards. This was likely how the Persian guards arrested and brought criminals into custody. Haman bragged and boasted about his powerful and superior rank above all princes around him. His position gave him direct access to the king himself. Everyone in the capital city bowed to his authority. He craved and obtained all these. But none of these could save him. All his supremacy and power were useless now with the king angry with him. His sins have caught up with him. The king reacted immediately. There was nothing anyone could do. The guards knew what and how serious the king’s words were, and responded immediately against Haman. This shows how fleeting and flimsy power, possessions and prestige are in this world. Why do you pursue these as if they were dependable and everything in this world to you? Dear reader, realize that one day you will face the God of Heaven. He is the King of kings who will judge. Rich and poor, powerful and weak, all will stand before Him. The only possession that matters then is whether you have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Turn to Him now and be sure that Jesus is your Lord and Saviour!
THOUGHT: Am I trusting in power, prestige and possessions?
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, all I need is Thee in this life, and beyond.
