Room 214 - Join us each Sunday as we study God's Word to learn how to live a more spirit filled life. Sunday Morning Bible Studies for all ages. Haman went out that day happy and in high spirits. But when he saw Mordecai at the king's gate and observed that he neither rose nor showed fear in his presence, he was filled with rage against Mordecai.
Unresolved hatred can become an all-consuming obsession.
Hatred and bitterness are like weeds with long roots that grow in the heart and corrupt all of life. Haman was so consumed with hatred toward Mordecai that he could not even enjoy the honor of being invited to Esther's party. Don't let hatred and its resulting bitterness build in your heart. If the mere mention of someone's name provokes you to anger, confess your bitterness as sin. Ignoring bitterness, hiding it from others, or making superficial changes in behavior is not enough.
