Finish Your Fight.

While perusing through the book of Esther i stumbled on something quite interesting I'd love to share here. 

Esther was of royal blood.
She was a grand daughter of King Saul.
No wonder she ended up marrying a King.😁

Hamman was a grandson of King Agag.

Now Agag was one of the kings God told King Saul to wipe out.

Saul spared that King and some of his household.

Eventually when he brought him back God was displeased with his disobedience and had Samuel get another king.

Samuel was the one who eventually killed Agag.

Then many centuries later. Haman son of Agag meets Mordecai son of Saul and the old battle is revived. 

Hamman now wants Mordecai and all the Jews wiped out.

Divine intervention is what eventually saves them.

Lessons.
- As a parent what you do or do not do will travel down your generation unborn. Both Esther and Hamman were not born when it started but because Saul didn't deal with the issue headlong, his children ended up having to fight that battle again.

- When you do not address issues you should you will slow down your unborn children because they will have to spend their lives fixing your mess and end up having no time to fulfill their own God given assignment.

How you live your life today will determine to a large extent what your descendants will have to deal with. Therefore live with posterity in view because your act today will certainly speak tomorrow when you're no longer here.

The Crisis of Identity.

When we went from placing value on what really matters to just external things humanity fell so hard and broke it's back. The impact of that fall is why we have so many people with low self esteem and terrible identity crises. Much more than failing economies, hunger, disease, widespread poverty is the crisis of the individual.  The crisis of seeking validation, of feeling some sort of worth and value. That inner questioning and probing that requires an answer. Sadly many people do not have the answer to that inner question. They then turn to things, all kinds of external things and invite them to come in and answer that inner man. Unfortunately the externals can't do so. They lack the capacity to answer those questions and the individual in a bid to either answer or silence that question seeks more of these externals and at every point they keep saying No, we don't have the answers. The individual is now confused, what do I do? Then he sights another human li...
