judgements

I am sure enjoying this study of Esther. But like each one of us it is so complex. As I read it I am usually thinking about work because that seems to be so much of my life. So, once again here are the parallels of my life.
I keep trying to write about my thoughts, and then erase them. I wish my mistakes were so easy to correct. A little of me wishes I were at work today because the dynamics of who is working is different than yesterday or what it will be tomorrow. One day we have a lot of complainers with little resolution of issues and tasks. Another day we have a lot of hard working, thought provoking people working on physical tasks that are accomplished just for the delight of working with good friends and making their load easier. A nice patient makes our day more delightful. And then BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
So it is with Esther, Haman, Mordecai and Xerxes. One day things for each of them is going along well, for the counterpart not so well. But again in God`s timing everything is perfect. He is keeping a perfect time card, chart and footnote of everything for everyone. In HIS PERFECT TIMING all will come to pass for each one of us. OLD TESTAMENT times, as well as now with work God keeps the perfect timing. All of a sudden life changes. Now how can I be open to that, before a fall?
In other words, Haman had friends at his first party to boast of his honors to (meet his insatiable need to be noticed). They probably couldn`t say enough good things about him. But when he met the second time with his wife he asked for his advisers who spoke in retrospect of all his misdeeds, also they couldn`t say enough good about him. And they affirmed that he will die.
Back to my work place. No one can ever say enough right word. We just need to keep going back until God has another timing and purpose for us. JB
