And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
Esther 2:7
Mordecai’s life could be described as a man who was consistently in the right place at the right time. His orphan cousin becomes queen, he happens to hear of a plot of the king, he eventually will be led about the city and honored publicly by Haman (who hates him deeply.) everything seems to work out for Mordecai.
It reminds me of Psalms 37:23 – The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
Perhaps it was not that Mordecai was in the right place at the right time, but rather he was the right man at the right time. Sometimes we are looking for better circumstances when what we really need is a better heart. The Lord can help us with that!
Psalms 51:10 – Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
-C.R.
