1. On that same day King Xerxes gave the property of Haman, the enemy of the Jews, to queen Esther. Then Mordecai was brought before the king, for Esther had told the king how they were related.
2 The king took off his signet ring ⏤ which he had taken beck from Haman ⏤ and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed Mordecai to be in charge of Haman's property.

3 Then Esther went again before the king, falling down at his feet and begging him with tears to stop the evil plot devised by Haman the Agagite against the Jews.
4. Again the king held out the gold scepter to Esther. So she rose and stood before him.

5. Esther said, "If it please the king, and If I have found favor with him and if he thinks it is right, and if I am pleasing to him, let there be a decree that reverses the orders of Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, who ordered that Jews throughout all the king's provinces should be destroyed.
6. For how can I endure to see my people and my family slaughtered and destroyed?"

7. Then King Xerxes said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, "I have given Esther the property of Haman, and he has been impaled on a pole because he tried to destroy the Jews.
8. Now go ahead and send a message to the Jews in the king's name, telling them whatever you want, and seal it with the king's signet ring. But remember that whatever has already been written in the king's name and sealed with his signet ring can never be revoked.

9. So on June 25 the king's secretaries were summoned and a decree was written exactly as Mordecai dictated. It was sent to the Jews and to the highest officers, the governors, and the nobles of all the 127 provinces stretching from India to Ethiopia. The decree was written in the scripts and languages of all the peoples of the empire, including that of the Jews.
10. The decree was written in the name of King Xerxes and sealed with the king's signet ring. Mordecai sent the dispatches by swift messengers, who rode fast horses especially bred for the king's service.

11. The king's decree gave the Jews in every city authority to unite to defend their lives. They were allowed to kill, slaughter, and annihilate anyone of any nationality or province who might attack them or their children and wives, and to take the property of their enemies.
12. The day chosen for this event throughout all the provinces of King Xerxes was March 7 of the next year.

13. A copy of this decree was to be issued as law in every province and proclaimed to all peoples, so that the Jews would be ready to take revenge on their enemies on the appointed day.
14. So urged on by the king's command, the messengers rode out swiftly on fast horses bred for the king's service. The same decree was also proclaimed in the fortress of Susa.

15. Then Mordecai left the king's presence, wearing the royal robe of blue and white, the great crown of gold, and an outer cloak of fine linen and purple. And the people of Susa celebrated the new decree.
16. The Jews were filled with joy and gladness and were honored everywhere.
17. In every province and city, wherever the king's decree arrived, the Jews rejoiced and had a great celebration and declared a public festival and holiday. And many of the people of the land became Jews themselves, for their feared what the Jews might do to them.

1. So the king and Haman went to Queen Esther's banquet.
2. On this second occasion, while they were drinking wine, the king again said to Esther, "Tell me what you want, Queen Esther. What is your request? I will give it to you, even if it is half the kingdom!"

3. Queen Esther replied, "If I have found favor with the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my request, I ask that my life and the lives of my people will be spared.
4. For my people and I have been sold to those who would kill, slaughter, and annihilate us. If we had merely been sold as slaves, I could remain quiet, for that would be too trivial a matter to warrant disturbing the king."

5. "Who would do such a thing?" King Xerxes demanded. "Who would be so presumptuous as to touch you?"

6. Esther replied, "This wicked Haman is our adversary and our enemy." Haman grew pale with fright before the king and queen.
7. Then the king jumped to his feet in a rage and went out into the palace garden.

Haman, however, stayed behind to plead for his life with Queen Esther, for he knew that the king intended to kill him.
8. In despair he fell on the couch where Queen Esther was reclining, just as the king was returning from the palace garden.

The king exclaimed, "Will he even assault the queen right here in the palace, before my very eyes?" And as soon as the king spoke, his attendants covered Haman's face, signaling his doom.

9. Then Harbona, one of the king's eunuchs, said, "Haman has set up a sharpened pole that stands seventy-five feet tall in his own courtyard. He intended to used it to impale Mordecai, the man who saved the king from assassination."

"Then impale Haman on it!" the king ordered.
10. So they impaled Haman on the pole he had set up for Mordecai, and the king's anger subsided.

Imagine

Prepare your heart - that means ask Him to open you to be able to listen well.
Ask Jesus to bring you into the very presence of God Himself as you read instructions
Imagine the characters in this passage.
Are they facing a large enemy? or a challenge?
Have they followed God? or have they fled from His guidance?
Are they trusting God?
Are they experiencing pain, or loss?
Imagine one of them as a friend.
What would you do if you were there beside them?
Would you be willing to encourage them?
What would you do if you were experiencing their story?
Who would you turn to for guidance? God? A mentor? Satan?
Ask God to show you how to lean on Him in times of attack, or challenge.
Thank God for His presence with you right now.

1. That night the king had trouble sleeping, so he ordered an attendant to bring the book of the history of his reign so it could be read to him.
2. In those records he discovered an account of how Mordecai had exposed the plot of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the door to the king's private quarters. They had plotted to assassinate King Xerxes.

3. "What reward or recognition did we ever give Mordecai for this?" the king asked.

His attendants replied, "Nothing has been done for him."

4. "Who is that in the outer court?" the king inquired. As it happened, Haman had just arrived in the outer court of the palace to ask the king to impale Mordecai on the pole he had prepared.

5. So the attendants replied to the king, "Haman is out in the court."

"Bring him in," the king ordered.
6. So Haman came in, and the king said, "What should I do to honor a man who truly pleases me?"

Haman thought to himself, "Whom would the king wish to honor more than me?"
7. So he replied, "If the king wishes to honor someone,
8. he should bring out one of the king's own royal robes, as well as a horse that the king himself has ridden ⏤ one with a royal emblem on its head.
9. Let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble officials. And let him see that the man whom the king wishes to honor is dressed in the king's robes and led through the city square on the king's horse. Have the official shout as they go, 'This is what the king does for someone he wishes to honor!'"

10. "Excellent!" the king said to Haman, "Quick! Take the robes and my horse, and do just as you have said for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the gate of the palace. Leave out nothing you have suggested!"

11. So Haman took the robes and put them on Mordecai, placed him on the king's own horse, and led him through the city square, shouting, "This is what the king does for someone he wishes to honor!"
12. Afterward Mordecai returned to the palace gate, but Haman hurried home dejected and completely humiliated.

13. When Haman told his wife, Zeresh, and all his friends what had happened, his wise advisers and his wife said, "Since Mordecai ⏤ this man who has humiliated you ⏤ is of Jewish birth, you will never succeed in your plans against him. It will be fatal to continue opposing him."

14. While they were still talking, the king's eunuchs arrived and quickly took Haman to the banquet Esther had prepared.

9. Haman was a happy man as he left the banquet! But when he saw Mordecai sitting at the palace gate, not standing up or trembling nervously before him, Haman became furious.
10. However, he restrained himself and went on home.

Then Haman gathered together his friends and Zeresh, his wife,
11. and boasted to them about his great wealth and his many children. He bragged about the honors the king had given him and how he had been promoted over all the other nobles and officials.

12. Then Haman added, "And that's not all! Queen Esther invited only me and the king himself to the banquet she prepared for us. And she has invited me to dine with her and the king again tomorrow!"
13. Then he added, "But this is all worth nothing as long as I see Mordecai the Jew just sitting there at the palace gate."

14. So Haman's wife, Zeresh, and all his friends suggested, "Set up a sharpened pole that stands seventy-five feet tall, and in the morning ask the king to impale Mordecai on it. When this is done, you can go on your merry way to the banquet with the king." This pleased Haman. and he ordered the pole set up.

1. On the third day of the fast, Esther put on her royal robes and entered the inner court of the palace, just across from the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne, facing the entrance.
2. When he saw Queen Esther standing there in the inner court, he welcomed her and held out the gold scepter to her. So Esther approached and touched the end of the scepter.

3. Then the king asked her, "What do you want, Queen Esther? What is your request? I will give it to you, even if it is half the kingdom?"

4. And Esther replied, "If it please the king, let the king and Haman come today to a banquet I have prepared for the king."

5. The king turned to his attendants and said, "Tell Haman to come quickly to a banquet, as Esther has requested." So the king and Haman went to Esther's banquet.

6. And while they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther. "Now tell me what you really want. What is your request? I will give it to you, even if it is half the kingdom?"

7. Esther replied, "This is my request and deepest wish.
8. If I have found favor with the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my request and do what I ask, please come with Haman tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for you. Then I will explain what this is all about."

1. When Mordecai learned about all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on burlap and ashes, and went out into the city, crying with a loud and bitter wail.
2. He went as far as the gate of the palace, for no one was allowed to enter the palace gate while wearing clothes of mourning.
3. And as news of the king's decree reached all the provinces, there was great mourning among the Jews. They fasted, wept, and wailed, and many people lay in burlap and ashes.

4. When Queen Esther's maids and eunuchs came and told her about Mordecai, she was deeply distressed. She sent clothing to him to replace the burlap, but he refused it.
5. Then Esther sent for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs who had been appointed as her attendant. She ordered him to go to Mordecai and find out what was troubling him and why he was in mourning.
6. So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the square in front of the palace gate.

7. Mordecai told him the whole story, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasure for the destruction of the Jews.
8. Mordecai gave Hathach a copy of the decree issued in Susa that called for the death of all Jews. He asked Hathach to show it to Esther and explain the situation to her. He also asked Hathach to direct her to go to the king to beg for mercy and plead for her people.
9. So Hathach returned to Esther with Mordecai's message.

10. Then Esther told Hathach to go back and relay this message to Mordecai:
11. "All the king's officials and even the people in the provinces know that anyone who appears before the king in his inner court without being invited is doomed to die unless the king holds out his gold scepter. And the king has not called for me to come to him for thirty days."
12. So Hathach gave Esther's message to Mordecai.

13. Mordecai sent this reply to Esther: "Don't think for a moment that because you're in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed.
14. If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?"

15. Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai:
16. "Go and gather together all the Jews of Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will do the same. And then, though it is against the law, I will go in to see the king. If I must die, I must die."
17. "So Mordecai went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.

2nd strategy
Meditation in WORSHIP

God is able to speak to us through those words that we read and reread. As we think about what we have read and ponder, those words infiltrate our minds and change us. They give us a better understanding of what God is saying in His word. Through that better understanding we begin to think differently, and our attitudes and lives change. Even our actions toward ourselves, others and the world change to be more Christlike.

And isn't that what Christians desire? To be Christ like. To be Christ followers. To know God.

With these precepts or tenets in place, let us begin with WORSHIP.

Begin with asking God to open your heart to what He has for you to hear today.
Read a passage of the Scripture
Is a miracle in the passage? Is a relationship deepened in some way? Has God stepped in and shown His power,
Has he shown His discipline or even His protection or His end goal?
Has Jesus, lived life, shown love, or taught?
Whatever the passage holds that brings you an awareness of who He is, praise Him for that revelation.
Give Him glory and honor and praise. Thank Him for what He has given.
Think on these things. Ponder them. Reread the passage. Write about what you read. Pray! This is Worship!
Thank God for His presence this moment.

1. "Stand up, son of man," said the voice. "I want to speak with you."
2. The Spirit came into me as he spoke and he set me on my feet. I listened carefully to his words.
3. 'Son of man," he said, "I am sending you to the nation of Israel, a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me. They and their ancestors have been rebelling against me to this very day.
4. They are a stubborn and hard-hearted people. But I am sending you to say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says!'
5. And whether they listen or refuse to listen ⏤for remember, they are rebels ⏤at least they will know they have had a prophet among them.

6. "Son of man, do not fear them or their words Don't be afraid even though their threats surround you like nettles and briers and stinging scorpions. Do not be dismayed by their dark scowls, even though they are rebels.
7. You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. But they won't listen, for they are completely rebellious!
8. Son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not join them in their rebellion. Open your mouth, and eat what I give you."

9. Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me. It held a scroll,
10. which he unrolled. And I saw that both sides were covered with funeral songs, words of sorrow, and pronouncements of doom.

3.
10th strategy.
Read, Compare and Contrast.

Open your heart. Begin with confession.
Ask God to prompt you to hear Him and what He wants you to come away with.
Read the passage.
Are there two things being written about throughout the passage.
If so, read through the passage completely.
On a piece of paper (or on your computer) label two columns with the two themes you found in the passage.
Read through the passage and write the points of each of the themes.
After reading and listing the theme points, compare and contrast them.
Does this give you any more understanding of the words that God has given us?
Take your findings to God and ask Him to give you understanding on these points.
Ask God to hide these thoughts in your heart and bring them to your mind when you are in a position where these apply.
Share any thoughts in our community that might be glorifying to God.
Don't forget to thank God for being with you today.

23. One Sabbath day as Jesus was walking through some grain fields, his disciples began breaking off heads of grain to eat.
24. But the Pharisees said to Jesus, "Look why are they breaking the law by harvesting grain on the Sabbath?"

25. Jesus said to them, "Haven't you ever read in the Scriptures what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
26. He went into the house of God (during the days when Abiathar was high priest) and broke the law by eating the sacred loaves of bread that only the priests are allowed to eat. He also gave some to his companions."

27. Then Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath.
28. So the Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath!"

8th strategy.
Choose three important verses
that speak to you today.

Begin by getting your heart ready to receive the words that God has laid down for us on this page. Ask Him to give you what you need to hear. Ask Him to give you the mind of Christ to be able to remember this strategy and continue it throughout the day.
Read the passage completely.
After reading the first time go back and chose the three most important verses that speak to you today.
Ask God to bring those verses back to you through out the day.
Find out if by the end of the day only one verse has been thought about more than the others.
Thank God for that verse.
This is a good strategy to use for long passages.
Be sure to stop and thank God for being here with you today.

18. Once when John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, some people came to Jesus and asked, "Why don't your disciples fast like John's disciples and the Pharisees do?"

19. Jesus replied, "Do wedding guests fast while celebrating with the groom? Of course not. They can't fast while the groom is with them.
20. But someday the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

21. "Besides, who would patch old clothing with new cloth? For the new patch would shrink and rip away from the old cloth, leaving an even bigger tear than before.

22. "And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the wine would burst the wineskins, and the wine and the skins would both be lost. New wine calls for new wineskins."

Cause and Effect

Begin by inviting God to show you what is the cause and effect hidden in these verses. Ask Him to show you nuggets of wisdom.
Read the passage completely.
Divide a piece of paper into two columns.
Title the first column Cause and the second column Effect
Reread the passage. This time ask if there are any instructions that are given that have a direct end result.
Write down the causes (in Cause column)and the effects (in the Effects column).
Do you find a pattern?
What are your thoughts?
Now as you wrap all these thoughts up in your mind. Stop and thank God for being with you this very day.

13. Then Jesus went out to the lakeshore again and taught the crowds that were coming to him.
14. As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at his tax collector's booth. "Follow me and be my disciple," Jesus said to him. So Levi got up and followed him.

15. Later, Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus' followers.)
16. But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, "Why does he eat with such scum?"

17. When Jesus heard this, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor ⏤ sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."
