DIG A PIT, FALL INTO IT
Harbonah, one of the king’s chamberlains, called to the king’s notice that at Haman’s house was a twenty-three-metre-high gallows which Haman had built to hang Mordecai. He added that this was the Mordecai who had spoken to expose the assassination plot which saved the king. Then the king simply said three words concerning Haman: "Hang him thereon."
Imagine, an ultra high gallows in your garden to hang your enemy upon. But only to be hanged on it yourself. "He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him" (Eccles 10:8). This was exactly what happened to Haman. None of this happened by chance. As Haman was scheming against God’s people, God was working silently to turn his plot upon himself instead. Haman built the gallows, God hanged him on it in judgment. "God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors" (Ps 7:11-13). God will turn the evil devices of wicked men against His people to nought and return it upon them. Haman picked the wrong group of people to find trouble with. He thought that with his authority and his proximity and influence over the king as prime minister, he could not fail in his war against the Jews. He had the king on his side, the decree was sent far and wide, and he had the finances to back his genocide project. But he could not be more wrong. God would never forget His covenant with His people. The Jews could and would never be eradicated. Likewise, God will protect His believers today.
Do you have any Hamans in your life? Leave God to deal with them. Vengeance belongs to God. We just need to ensure that we are on God’s side, doing His will and doing the right thing. When they dig a pit for you, they will fall into it.
THOUGHT: If the Lord is with me, who can be against me?
PRAYER: Lord, help me to walk on Thy side always.
