Be careful to note that the victories in this reading are over those who hated them (v. 5). The feast of Purim, as a remembrance of their great victory, began at this time. Pur (the lot; v. 24) had been cast against the Jews—and had now been turned around to defeat their enemies. God always has the means to turn things around—even upside down—to vindicate His people. Let us learn to serve Him courageously in all things (Hebrews 13:5-6).
