On that night could not the king sleep,
and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles;
and they were read before the king.
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this?
Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court.
And the king said, Let him come in.
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him,
What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour?
Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes,
that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour,
and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him,
Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said,
and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate:
let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken. Esther 6:1-10
Who set that up?
Then God stirred the king so he could not sleep and then he wanted the chronicles to be read to him.
It’s obvious that no one else could have created the circumstances,
both to let Mordecai hear and learn of the plot to kill the king
and then that the king didn’t honor him yet, so, that also is a part of the circumstances that gave Mordecai favor in his sight.
What about the time when David was not afraid to go up against the Giant Goliath?
Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them,
seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. 1 Samuel 17:36
God had arranged the circumstances so that David feared neither man nor beast. He trusted in God.
Many stories in the bible, God has gone before the people to arrange the circumstances
so that His will could be done.
Judas Iscariot.
Pontius Pilate and Herod Antipas.
When it was time, it was time. God set that up.
God’s hands are in everything that have to do with His will.
Watch for that. He’s still setting things up today in His marvelous ways.
