Scripture:
“The king then removed his signet ring (the very one he had taken back from Haman) and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther designated Mordecai to be in charge of Haman’s estate.” Esther 8:2 NET
Observation:
Mordecai was faithful to God and was blessed for it. He did the right thing at all times and humbled himself before the Lord. He walked in step with the Lord and God favored him for it. He ended up receiving the signet ring of the king and living in the estate of the second most powerful man in the empire.
Application:
When God turns things around, He does it with class. God is faithful to His people when they are faithful to Him. When I read Scripture, I see so many times when God’s people were in terrible situations, but God brought them out with incredible blessings, wealth, and honor. He had a way of promoting those who are faithful to Him. We must trust God and seek him like Mordecai did.
Prayer:
Father, help me to be faithful when it looks like things are not going well. I also ask You to step in and provide Your incredible favor and provision when it is needed. You are awesome and I love the way You bless and take care of Your people. Let my life be aligned with You at all times. Provide the resources for me to extend Your kingdom around the world.
Yours,
Jeff
