A PATRIOT INDEED Tuesday December 29, 2015
Text: Esther 10:1 – 6 Memory verse: v 3
Mordecai
was truly great, and his greatness gave him opportunities of doing the more
good. He did not disown his people the Jews, and no doubt kept to the true religion.
He did not seek his own wealth, but the welfare of his people. Few have it in
their power to do so much good as Mordecai; but all have it in their power to
do hurt, and who has it not in his power to do some good. Mordecai was indeed a
patriot who sought for the welfare of his people at all times and as he had the
opportunity.
We
are not required to do what is not in our power because God doesn’t require us
to do so but there are those we should emulate as recorded in the Bible. Matthew
Henry Concise Commentary says “If we live
by the faith of Christ, we shall be active according to the ability and
opportunities He gives us, in promoting His glory and the best interests of
men. If our faith be genuine, it will work by love.” How much do you seek
for the welfare of fellow Christian and your pastors? Mordecai has proved
himself. What about you? You have opportunity to do something today.
Food for Thought: Any challenge for you in the life of Mordecai
Prayer: Lord, give us men and women like Mordecai in our political offices.
