Ester 1-5

S: Ester 3:2 "All the royal officials at the king's gate knelt down and paid honor to Haman, for the king had commanded this concerning him. But Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor."

O: Haman was given a great honor by King Xerxes, but Mordecai would only kneel down to his God and no one else.

A: Stick to your guns! When you first start reading this book, it seems like Mordecai is going to suffer greatly for his choices. But as we continue to read, it becomes apparent that God has something special in store for Mordecai. If you make a decision, stick to it! Don't let the pressure of the people around you cause you to break your moral code. Keep strong. It will work out in the end!

P: God, help me to stay true to You, no matter what I am facing!
