When the Tables Turn: Divine Timing and Honor in Esther 6
About this episode
What happens when your enemy is ordered to honor you? Esther Chapter 6 delivers one of the Bible’s most dramatic reversals. King Ahasuerus can’t sleep, so he asks for the royal records—and discovers that Mordecai once saved his life but was never rewarded. At the exact same time, Haman shows up to ask for Mordecai’s execution. The king interrupts and orders Haman to publicly honor Mordecai instead.
In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we unpack the surprising power of divine timing, unseen providence, and humility. You’ll discover how God can work behind the scenes—even through insomnia and coincidence—to set things right. We also explore how pride sets a trap for itself, and why staying faithful, even when overlooked, is never wasted.
