The story of Haman and Mordecai in Esther 5:9-14 reveals how pride destroys joy while faith builds strength in difficult circumstances. We explore how Haman's obsession with one small slight poisoned his perspective despite his many blessings.

• Haman leaves Queen Esther's banquet joyful but quickly becomes enraged when Mordecai refuses to bow
• Mordecai shows growing faith as he moves from mourning in sackcloth to standing firm at the king's gate
• The toxic influence of surrounding yourself with negative voices who encourage destructive actions
• How focusing on minor problems can steal joy from major blessings
• The circular nature of enemy-influenced thinking that always centers on self
• Dangers of comparison and obsession with control
• Finding strength by fixing our eyes on God rather than problems
