Bibledoorajar sees the king's anger subside

     The attendants of the king knew he was angry. They pointed to the gallows
seventy five feet tall standing at Haman's house. The king said: "Hang him on it."
So Haman was hanged on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. After he was
hanged and the king had retrieved his signet ring from off Haman's finger, the king's
anger subsided. The king gave Esther the house of Haman. She revealed her true
relationship to Mordecai to the king. He called Mordecai before him. He removed the signet
ring that once indicated Haman's status from his finger and gave it to Mordecai. Esther
put Mordecai in charge of Haman's house. How Haman would have been vexed if he could
have seen Mordecai in charge of his possessions!
     Some people worry about what will happen to their possessions after their death. They
become obsessed that certain people will not have them. Great lengths are taken to prevent them
from doing so. Some are so worried that they give their possessions to another of their choosing
well before dying. Jesus said that we should have a different focus. We should focus on
those possessions that we can store up in heaven. This should be our primary concern and if
we are going to be anxious about something it should be what foundation we are building in
glory for the new life we will live there. This, of course, is not a purchase, but a reward for
righteous acts which the God of mercy and grace will administer. So use your earthly possessions,
 but remember they will fade away in the end. But the glorious foundations being built in heaven will be improved on forever. There's an old hymn that says we have a mansion just over the hilltop. Let's
live so we have something good to see when we get there!
