This morning, starting at 10 am, we read Esther chapter 5 & 6.
Participants were Hiyori and Akari.

Hiyori saw two things, one that Mordecai had humble heart by protecting the king without seeking credit. Even though he could have told the king what he did, he remained faithful. Another thing is to be careful about who you surround yourself with because like Haman’s case, Satan uses people surrounding to encourage into wrong ways.

Akari learned that it’s not up to you to get reward or punishment, God sees everything and will do it. This is clear in both Haman and Mordecai’s case. Haman boast and punish those he dislike, but Mordecai continued to do what was right. In the end, God honored Mordecai, showing that doing the right thing consistently matters.

In another perspective, I see that Mordecai had forgiving heart where he never took revenge on Haman, even though Haman hated him and plan to kill him and all the Jews. The part where he step backwards and let God handle everything was the right thing which is important.

We didn’t share what had happened this week because our week just started.
In the end, I prayed for upcoming president day events, to go smoothly with the planning and preparation.
