OT: The Book of Esther, Chapter 10

Esther 10:1-3

10:1-2 Although it would seem that king Ahasuerus was in power, God arranged and powered the framework and details of this book and Esther's life. God advanced Mordecai and Esther because they had the faith, humility and sense of righteousness that qualified them for impactful, purposeful work.

With willingness and courage in faith, we become the type of soul God can use to create and restore. He offers us to be the instruments through which His blessings are implemented. Mordecai was humble enough to serve God exclusively, and that humility enabled God to reverse his situation and save his life.

10:3 Be willing to serve; God delegates truly honorable, important work to the people who are willing to do it. Mordecai sought the good of his people and peace for all of the people around him. God helps us to achieve success when our motivations are just, selfless and faith-based.
