EVIL PLANS
Esther 3:15
"The couriers went out, hastened by the king's command; and the decree [to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews (vs. 13)] was proclaimed in Shushan th citadel. So the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was perplexed (in confusion)."
While the proclamation of Haman's wicked plan was being issued, Haman and Ahasureus were celebrating as though nothing was wrong. How can the rulers of a nation have so little regard for the people in their charge that they can kill them without any qualms? Stalin did it, as did Hitler, Pol Pot, Sadam Hussein, and many others. This year the same thing is happening in the Arab nations where thousands are being killed by their own governments. These acts are Satan-inspired and cause social upheaval and confusion. His main goal is to kill and destroy (John 10:10). But God is greater and is able to confound the evil plans of men. We need to be thankful we live in a nation where there is still some sense of righteousness, and we can live in peace.
Today's Thought: Satan's plans are evil, but God is greater.
Have a peaceful day. Love you.
