These chapters highlight God’s providence working through unexpected events. Esther courageously approaches the king and invites him and Haman to private banquets, wisely waiting for God’s timing to reveal her request. Meanwhile, Haman, consumed by pride and hatred of Mordecai, builds a gallows for his enemy. That very night, the king cannot sleep and discovers in the chronicles that Mordecai once saved his life but was never honored. Ironically, Haman is commanded to lead Mordecai in a public display of honor, humiliating himself. At the second banquet, Esther reveals her Jewish identity and exposes Haman’s plot to annihilate her people. The enraged king orders Haman executed on the very gallows he built for Mordecai. The lesson shows that God orchestrates even sleepless nights and surprising turns of events to accomplish His perfect plan, reminding us that He not only delivers us from life’s problems but also develops us through them.
