Today in Esther 5, things begin to unravel for wicked Haman. It is true that his wickedness is not exposed yet, but his pride and his anger speed him on the path of destruction. Seeking greatness is unbecoming—foolish. Getting greatness by manipulation is something Haman would do, but Mordecai served and trusted God, who gave him honor as well as great responsibility, in which he served faithfully. Contrary to the ways of the world, an honest sense of unworthiness and a will to serve others rather than ourselves appear to be requirements for good and faithful servants of the King.
