Esther: 3:8
(Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people's, and they do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.)
Haman's pride had gotten the best of him. He couldn't stand it that Mordecai the Jew wouldn't bow down to him when he came by. So he devised a plan to have the king decree that all of the Jew's should be destroyed. What he didn't realize was that Queen Esther was also a Jew and that she had found out about his plan. To make the story short, Haman had planned evil against the Jew's but ended up being hanged from the gallows instead of Mordecai.
Proverbs; 26:27
(Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.)
Anytime a person plans evil against another person, God is aware of the plan. That plan will many times backfire before it is even carried out. Even if the plan is successful, God can bring about good instead of evil from the plan. God tells us that His face is against those who do evil. When a person makes this kind of plan, he is going against God and he will always lose as in the case of Haman. The gallows he built for Mordecai, he ended up on himself. We are warned not to run with those who devise evil in their heart.
Make it a point to always do good and respect all of God's creation. The thing to remember is that you are not battling against man when you device evil but against the God of the universe. God hates evil but loves good. Make your choice for good.
God Bless You!
