And all the acts of his power and might, and the full account of the high honor of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? Esther 10:2 – Some studying of these extremely long chapter took me across this quote from Spurgeon…“let each child of God rejoice that we have a guardian so near the throne. Every Jew in Shushan must have felt hope when he remembered that the queen was a Jewess. To-day let us be glad that Jesus is exalted.” This must have been a relief for the Jews in all of Persia. Knowing not only the queen was Jewish, but the second in all authority in the empire was a Jew as well. You would know your spiritual needs and customs would be considered even at the highest court there was. You would be remembered by those in power. How much more peace ought we have who are followers of Jesus! For at the highest position there we have our Savior seated in authority and being our mediator. He constantly is thinking about us and aware of our needs. He speaks life and mercy about us to the Father. Sure while Mordecai sought the good welfare and peace of his people, Jesus seeks the eternal life and heavenly blessing for His people. Know with Jesus you are never forgotten in the court of the King of Kings and your welfare is forever on the mind of the One over all things. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3609
