“When Haman saw that Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor, he was enraged.” – Esther 3:5
Bible teacher Donald Grey Barnhouse told the following story: A young son of a missionary couple in Zaire was playing in the yard. Suddenly the voice of the boy’s father rang out from the porch, “Philip, obey me instantly! Drop to your stomach!” Immediately the youngster did as his father commanded. “Now crawl toward me as fast as you can!” The boy obeyed. “Stand up and run to me!” Philip responded unquestioningly and ran to his father’s arms.
As the young boy turned to look at the tree by which he had been playing, he saw a large deadly snake hanging from one of the branches! At the first command of his father, Philip could have hesitated and asked, “Why do you want me to do that?” Or he could have casually replied, “In a minute.” But his instant obedience without questioning saved his life!
Doing right means listening and obeying our Heavenly Father. Today in prayer, ask the Lord to give you wisdom, courage, and resolve to do what is right.
