DAILY?READINGS: 1 Samuel 21-22; Isaiah 61; Romans 6:1-14
For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews…seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed. Esther 10:3
In these days of selfishness and greed, it is refreshing to read of a man who used his elevated position to bless others. God’s hand protected Mordecai and saw him saved from what seemed to be certain death and lifted to a place of political power and influence. Instead of using it for his own benefit, Mordecai sought the wealth of his people. May God help us to be generous and selfless with God’s blessings to us. —G. S.
As we receive, so let us give, with ready, generous hand,
Rich fruitage from the lives we live, to bless our home and land.
—P. A. Chub
