‘For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.’
Esther 10:3
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
I will.
Have.
Favor.
With.
Man.
As.
Long.
As.
I’m.
Faithful.
To.
Him!
This morning.
As I.
Finished.
Reading.
The.
Book.
Of.
Esther.
I noticed.
How.
Faithful.
Mordecai.
Was.
In.
Raising.
His.
Uncle’s.
Daughter.
Esther.
‘And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. The young woman was lovely and beautiful. When her father and mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.’
Esther 2:7
And.
How.
He.
Served.
The king.
Even.
Before.
He.
Was.
Given.
A position.
Under him!
‘In those days, while Mordecai sat within the king’s gate, two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, doorkeepers, became furious and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. So the matter became known to Mordecai, who told Queen Esther, and Esther informed the king in Mordecai’s name. And when an inquiry was made into the matter, it was confirmed, and both were hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the presence of the king.’
Esther 2:21-23
Look.
The word.
The Lord.
Sent.
Through.
Pastor Cochran.
Is.
The seasons.
Are.
Changing!
And.
Right.
Now.
I’m.
In.
A new.
Season!
Therefore.
Everything.
I’m.
Experiencing.
Naturally.
And.
Spiritually.
Is.
New!
Also.
He.
Shared.
This.
Isn’t.
Going.
to.
Make.
Sense.
To.
Those.
That.
Don’t
Believe.
In.
Christ!
‘By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. ‘
Hebrews 11:11
Ultimately.
Mordecai.
Served.
The Lord.
Faithfully.
And.
He.
Didn’t.
Bow.
Down.
To.
Man!
‘And all the king’s servants who were within the king’s gate bowed and paid homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage. ‘
Esther 3:2
In.
Return.
The Lord.
Delivered.
Mordecai.
And.
The Jews.
From.
Their.
Enemies.
‘The Jews gathered together in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm. And no one could withstand them, because fear of them fell upon all people. And all the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and all those doing the king’s work, helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them. ‘
Esther 9:2-3
Also.
The Lord.
Gave him.
Favor.
With.
The king!
‘Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king’s gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken.”’
Esther 6:10
I pray.
That you.
Remain.
Faithful.
To.
The Lord.
And.
Don’t.
Bow.
Down.
To.
Man!
Because.
In.
Due time.
God.
Will.
Reward.
Your.
Faithfulness!
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed.
In Jesus name, Amen!
