“Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, “Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.”
Esther 6:11 KJV
So Haman took the robe and horse; he robed Mordecai and led him through the city square, proclaiming before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king especially wants to honor!” Here was Haman honouring Mordecai whom he hated, instead of hanging him on the gallows he had got made for Mordecai. Haman could not believe that this was what was happening! The power that Haman supposed he had seemed to have gone. Now he had to honour Mordecai on behalf of the king. Scripture is very clear on this issue that pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. God’s grace is only available to those who turn to Him in meekness, knowing their need for Him. Grace and truth came through the Lord Jesus Christ, and He said, “blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” May we learn to agree with the Word of God and walk in humility and meekness to receive the blessings God has promised us. Amen!
