********** SHORTCUT STUMBLING *********** ESTHER 2 : 19 & 20 . Have you noticed? Even though Esther was the queen and was still following Mordecais orders, Mordecai didnt bring in his relationship with Esther to eliminate or dominate Haman for a long time? Haman was steadily growing and Mordecai was carefully observing Hamans growth and readily expressing his stand against him; But, Mordecai never complained against Haman to Esther. He could have used his influence to manipulate the situation but waited for the right time. Think about the possibilities. A complaint through Esther might have eliminated Haman or the unpredictable king could have removed Esther from the throne because of his closeness to Haman; Did not the King removed Vashti by the counsel of someone like Haman? Mordecai waited patiently for the right time and opportunity! Like Mordecai, Esther also didnt jump into some kind of firefighting action immediately after receiving the news from Mordecai, but waited in the presence of the Lord fasted for three days before staring her game! See the result! An untimely attempt by Mordecai and Esther might have eliminated only Haman, but the sharp move eliminated not just Haman but all the enemies of Jews in the entire kingdom and paved the way for a peaceful and prosperous life to all the Jews! One mans meticulous patience gave deliverance to so many! Dear friend! Learn the difference between using the opportunity in a GODLY way and using it at any cost! If the enemy is advancing, zeal and sincerity may not be sufficient to thwart his plan; Waiting for the instruction from above is crucial in this kind of crisis; Dont trust you r influence and intelligence but wait for the insight from the WORD, the Instructors manual of EMMANUEL! Dont just focus on the growing darkness but on the Gentle Voice of the LIGHT also! You are allowed to see the darkness so that your timely action will bring light to many! Be Courageous! Behind your unanswered prayers, prolonged frustrations, closed doors and valley of shadows of death, your Mordecai, the GOD ALMIGHTY, is also meticulously planning and patiently moving to bring joy and deliverance to you and through you! Behind the maze is the MASTER! HIS plans are always to prosper you! Believe it and praise HIM! You shall see wonders! *********************************************************** IN YOUR STRENGTH I CAN CRUSH AN ARMY, WITH MY GOD I CAN SCALE ANY WALL.
