May 16, 2010 - The Reward Of A Great Father

Mediation of Esther 10

The book of Esther closed with some great words concerning Mordecai, the foster father of Esther. He was highly exalted in the Persian Kingdom under King Xerxes. He sought the good welfare for his own people.

He had come to his great position was because of his care and teaching of his daughter who was not his own offspring. Esther's parents were killed probably due to the exile from their own country to Persia. Mordecai took such a good care of Esther that she became the savior for all the Jews.

A godly and caring father will always be rewarded.
