I Will Not Be Hanged
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.
Esther 7:10 (NKJV)
The story of Haman and Mordecai is a powerful reminder of how God protects His people. Driven by hatred and pride, Haman built a gallows to destroy the righteous. But in the end, he fell into his own trap. This teaches us that even when others desire our harm, God remains our defender. He knows how to reverse the plans of the enemy and bring justice in His perfect time. God’s protection never fails, and His faithfulness covers those who walk with integrity and reverence before Him.
• God sees the hidden schemes of those who wish to harm us
Nothing escapes His eyes. Even when the attacks are subtle or concealed, God is aware of every plot, and He knows how to frustrate them with power.
• Faithfulness to God always brings reward
Mordecai did not bow to man, but he remained faithful to God. That loyalty was the foundation of his deliverance and public vindication.
• The evil planned by others will turn against them
The very gallows Haman built for Mordecai became his own downfall. God has the power to turn threats into testimonies.
• Declaring God’s truth strengthens our spirit
We can declare in faith today that no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and that all things work together for our good.
• God’s mercy and goodness surround us daily
We do not walk alone. His goodness follows us step by step, even in the face of opposition.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.

Think About It:
- Am I trusting that God is my defender even when others try to harm me?
- Am I walking in faithfulness like Mordecai, refusing to bow under pressure from those who oppose me?
- What truth can I declare in faith today to strengthen my spirit and confidence in God’s protection?
