Esther 6-7

“For the man whom the king desires to honor, let them bring a royal robe …” (6:7). With beautiful irony, Haman described how the king should honor a man. Haman, of course, thought the king was planning to honor him, but the king was praising his enemy, Mordecai. Worse, the king commanded Haman to be the one to give Mordecai the robe and crown and parade him on horseback through the city. Haman had no choice but to obey.

In truth, our King sees everything. One day, He will reward the real heroes for their hidden acts of obedience and sacrifice.
