"On this day, with Mordecai sitting at the King's Gate, Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs who guarded the entrance, had it in for the king and were making plans to kill King Xerxes. But Mordecai learned of the plot and told Queen Esther, who then told King Xwerxes, giving credit to Mordecai. When the thing was investigated and confirmed as true, the two men wre hanged on a gallows. This was all written down in a logbook kept for the king's use" (Esther 2:21-23, The Message).
Mordecai overheard an assination plot being planned against the king and reported it to Queen Esther. It perhaps seems routine and might be simply the right thing to do. This event, however, would have an amazing impact on Mordecai's future. This single act of loyalty to the king would prepare the way for Mordecai to become second in charge in all of the kingdom. God blesses loyalty. "He who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life, righteousness and honor" (Proverbs 21:21, NASB).
Perhaps today, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate loyalty. Look for it...
