THE CHICKEN COMES HOME TO ROOST
Esther 7:5a, 6-7
"So King Ahazuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, 'Who is he....?' And Esther said, 'The adversary is this wicked Haman!' So Haman was terrified before the king and queen. Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king."
The shoe is on the other foot. Haman had no qualms about committing genocide, as long as it affected someone else. But when his own life was in jeopardy, he was scared spitless, and pled for mercy. That's the way it is. It is like the prankster who loves to play practical jokes, but gets mad when he is the brunt of the joke. Jesus' way is best – to treat others as we would be treated – because, in Marvin's words, what goes around comes around.
Today's Thought: Evil done to another person will come back home to roost.
Have a caring day. Love you.
