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.

What if they overtake you?

Most times in life we are faced with  the pressure to compare the goings on in our lives with those of our peers especially. Succumbing to this pressure is one of the greatest source of stress and unhappiness in life. Life is a personal race and will always be that way, even your unique makeup and fingerprint attests to that. So if they buy the car before you then what? If they get married , get the job, contract, children, admission, houses or whatever it is before you then what? Does it stop your heart from beating or your lungs from taking in air? Allow people to move at their speed, if they are ready to overtake you let them and move at your own pace. Save yourself the stress of competition, you'll get there if you don't give up but just take your time.
