Esther 6 New King James Version (NKJV)
The King and His Chronicles 

1That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. 2 And it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, the doorkeepers who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. 3 Then the king said, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” And the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.” 4 So the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king’s palace to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. 5 The king’s servants said to him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” And the king said, “Let him come in.” 6 So Haman came in, and the king asked him, “What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?”
Esther – Meditation in The Wisdom and knowledge of God


The word schemer is found only twice in the Holy Bible; it is found only Old Testament in the following verses; Proverbs 24:8 – He who plots to do evil Will be called a schemer. And Isaiah 32:7 – Also the schemes of the schemer are evil; He devises wicked plans To destroy the poor with lying words, Even when the needy speaks justice. In the New Testament, in Acts 5:1-11 we see a similar event played out with Ananias and Sapphira. Haman and his wife Zeresh devise a plot to be to overthrow the Jews. But just as with Ananias and Sapphira, God the Holy Spirit has the final Word.


When God steps in to calibrate the scheming plans of man, He does so because the schemes of man have gone beyond His providential will, Haman’s schemes have. Haman and his friends have planned to destroy all of the Jews in the land, this is a political evil to gain control of the government. The politics in the United States of America should stand on ‘Justice for all’ yet we find self-righteous judgments of individual people kneeling to liberal movements that destroy the Jeo-Christian foundations that have secured our freedoms for the last 243 years. Yes, the nation is this many years old, but the ploy to destroy has been visible to God’s people for the last sixty-plus years.

Evil does not prevail when people of nations along with the people of God call out to Him in despair guided by FAITH. Are we praying for ‘justice’ in the United States of America? There are many who people who pray, (see James 1:5-8) but not in wisdom and faith, what good is wisdom without faith since double-mindedness contains doubt. We should do what is required of us to do; Proverbs 4:10-19 provides instruction for abiding in the security of godly wisdom.

We should ask God for a restless night for all those who seek to preserve our freedoms, we should also ask the Holy Spirit to help us revisit our past to see if we have overlooked or forgotten some of the ‘chronicles’ of our past. And we should ask God to reveal to the leadership of our ‘Sovereign nation’ things that have been forgotten. Then we should ask those who seek to destroy, to honor what they have desecrated, once the truth is turned on them, they will be destroyed.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
