Esther 10
Bell's Commentary on the Bible
Bell's Commentary
Verses 1-3
TABLE MANNERS
(10:1-3)
3 things to learn from Mordecai’s story:
God uses
unexpected people
at
unexpected times
.
God moves
David
from being a shepherd of a few sheep to king of His nation.
God takes
Moses
, an 80 yr. w/a criminal record, & uses him to pull off the Exodus.
He uses
a Harlot
to hide his spies (
Rahab
); a
rebel prophet
to spearhead an evangelsitc crusade in Ninevah (
Jonah
).
He used a
Pharisee & murderer
to pen most of the N.T. (
Paul
)
He used
a deserter
to kick off the early church (
Peter
).
God uses people with an
other centered
heart.
Contrast Haman vs. Mordecai.
When the Lord gives you
Affluence
or
Influence
, use it to the Glory of God, and for the
weak
, the
doubting
, the
tempted
, & the
comfortless
.
God uses those who
seek the good of others
, & who speaks
Shalom
to others.
“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God!” (
Corrie Ten Boom
)
So, God preserved the Jewish nation & we would have
a Bible
&
a Savior
.
