Chapter 396 of 1163

ESTHER 2

The selection of Esther (vv. 1–18) and the detection of the plotters (vv. 19–23) may seem to be events that do not belong together, but they were both part of God’s plan to save His people. Esther’s coronation was a grand public affair, while Mordecai’s service to the king was rather private. But God would use Esther’s position and Mordecai’s service to fulfill His purposes.

You may be prone to believe that God works only in the “important events” of life. All events are important if you are living in the will of God. Mordecai was not immediately rewarded for saving the king’s life, but God would take care of it at the right time (chap. 6). Do your duty today, and let God take care of the consequences.
