Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king wish to honor more than me?” 

“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!”

 when their sorrow was turned into gladness and their mourning into joy.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me from arrogance and humble so I may experience you properly in my day. All that is good is your fault.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
