You're a quarter of the way through Esther's story. Keep going.
Keep walking in faith.
And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them. If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries. And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman. Esther 3:8-11 (KJV)
Sticky Details
Haman's hatred for Mordecai — who refused to bow to him — grew into a plot to exterminate all Jews in the Persian empire. With a wave of the king's ring, genocide was authorized. Esther, hidden safely in the palace, faced a choice: stay silent and survive, or speak up and risk everything.
Reflection
Haman turned a personal grudge into a systemic attack. When have you seen individual prejudice become something larger and more dangerous?
