Providence made it possible for the king to learn of the events that had led to his life’s being saved by Mordecai (2:21-23). Haman was asked by the king how he thought the king should honor a worthy person. Haman’s vanity let him think that the king was thinking about him! His ideas were accepted by Ahasuerus who told him to prepare the ceremony—for Mordecai! Haman began to reap as he had sown as soon as the king made this arrangement. Examine your own temptations to vanity as you read.
