Fret not if you have been overlooked in being
honoured.
Esther 2
21 ¶In those days, while Mordecai sat in the
king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which
kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
22 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who
told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in
Mordecai's name.
23 And when inquisition was made of the
matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was
written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
How mysterious!
The treasonous plot was investigated; the two
top security chiefs were hanged for their treachery, but nothing was done to
honour the man who had discovered and reported the murderous plot, and saved
the king's life.
The Lord God of heaven wisely saved that due
honour for a better time. So, fret not if you have been overlooked.
Don't whine that you have not been
appreciated!
The Lord Jesus also reminded:
"So likewise ye, when ye shall have done
all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we
have done that which was our duty to do."
