Esther Chapter 6 is one of the most stunning moments of divine reversal in Scripture. Haman is plotting Mordecai’s execution, but in one sleepless night, God flips the script. The king can’t sleep, the royal records are opened, and Mordecai is honored instead of executed.
This chapter reminds us that God doesn’t need years to change everything—He can do it overnight.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
✅ When the King Couldn’t Sleep:
“That night the king could not sleep…” (v. 1)
A restless night leads the king to read the records of his reign. He discovers Mordecai’s past act of loyalty and realizes it was never rewarded. God orchestrates even insomnia for His plan.
✅ Haman’s Pride Sets Him Up:
Haman walks into the palace intending to ask for Mordecai’s execution—but before he can speak, the king asks:
“What should be done for the man the king delights to honor?” (v. 6)
Haman’s ego assumes the honor is for himself. Pride blinds you to reality—and sets the stage for your own fall.
✅ The Plot Twist of God’s Providence:
Haman ends up parading Mordecai through the streets, proclaiming his honor (vv. 10–11). The man who planned Mordecai’s death becomes the messenger of his dignity. Only God can write that kind of turnaround.
✅ The Beginning of Haman’s Fall:
Haman returns home humiliated (v. 12). His friends and wife warn him:
“You cannot stand against Mordecai—you will surely come to ruin!” (v. 13)
What looked unstoppable yesterday is unraveling today.
