Esther 5:1-14

This chapter is a picture of wisdom vs foolishness.

👉 Esther – Wisdom ( v 2-8 )

• won favor in the sight of others (in this case – the king)

• fasted for three days prior to approaching the king (recognized the seriousness of the situation and prayed first)

• approached the king with humility

• exercised patience and restraint

👉 Haman – Foolishness (v 9-14)

• easily angered – from joyful to filled with wrath in a moment

• prideful and boastful

• accepted counsel from the wrong people

• presumed to dictate the king’s decisions

👉 Lord, whatever we encounter today, help us to respond in wisdom with prayer, humility, and patience.

You, friends, are loved, chosen, and of infinite value to your heavenly Father.
