Esther 9:20-10:3 - Defeat turned to victory

The festival of Purim was now established. It was a time when utter defeat was turned into complete victory, sorrow was turned into joy. Probably, like me, you find the vengeance and blood shed hard to take, but we should not let this blind us to the way that God has worked. For His work in all our lives is to transform situations, and to transform us. There were plots against the Jews, but these were turned upon their enemies instead. Many today make plots against the Jews, but they will ultimately fail. The enemy makes plots against us, but he too will fail.
Mordecai was then promoted to high office in the kingdom, just as Joseph and Daniel before him had been.
