In the time of Esther, dispatchers were messengers sent by
the head of the kingdom. It was a tag team means of communication as one
messenger on a horse would hook up with a second messenger. They were chosen based on the ability
to speak the language of their specific audience. This morning as I am considering this mode of
communication I cannot help but to think of the sneaky ways that Satan bombards
us with his messages.
He sends people into our lives who can tempt us to think the
way of the flesh instead of the spirit.
He sees how we respond to temptation so it isn’t difficult for him to
speak our language, and worm his way into our own little kingdoms. We build our lives much like we build our
homes, surrounding ourselves with things that are important to us. We become rulers over the things with which
God has blessed us, but convinced that we have built our own household. Satan will try to convince us that we are in control of our
lives, and have the right and entitlement to operate in whatever manner we
wish.
When we build our spiritual homes with God being the head of
our household, we have a watchman at the door.
Satan and his messengers are uninvited trespassers in the household
where God rules. We have but one Messenger
who proclaims everything we need to know in the unique language of every heart–
the Holy Spirit.
