—Esther 3:1-6
by: Gabrielle Watt.
It is not uncommon for people to get upset when they do not receive the things they believe they are owed. Has this ever been the case for you? This is especially true when that individual is a vain power-seeker, who does not get the adoration they believe is due them. We see this temperament in Haman. He took it to the extreme by wanting to punish not only Mordecai, but all Jews in the kingdom. All because one man refused to bow before Haman. It goes to show that when gaining power is the main goal in a person’s life, it can corrupt them, and distort their sense of reasoning.
