THE LEGACY OF FAVOR: WHEN HONOR SPEAKS FOR YOU
Scripture Focus
Esther 10:3 (CSB) –
“Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus. He was famous among the Jews and highly esteemed by many of his relatives — he continued to pursue the good of his people and to speak for the well-being of all his descendants.”
Study Summary
The story of Esther closes not with chaos, but with peace and legacy.
Mordecai — once sitting outside the gate — is now second in command to the king. He uses his influence not for personal gain, but for the good of his people. His faithfulness, humility, and integrity have written his name into history.
Though Esther’s name doesn’t appear in this final chapter, her impact echoes through every word. Her obedience created the space for Mordecai’s elevation and her people’s preservation. Together, their lives demonstrate what it looks like when ordinary people trust an extraordinary God.
Esther Chapter 10 reminds us that favor isn’t just about being blessed — it’s about becoming a blessing. When God exalts you, He expects your influence to lift others.
Study Reflection: Finishing with Honor
Mordecai’s story is a picture of what happens when you stay consistent through the highs and lows. His reward wasn’t just position — it was legacy.
The chapter may be short, but it carries a prophetic reminder: your obedience has generational impact.
When you live for God’s glory, your influence outlives your lifespan.
True promotion is not about the throne — it’s about stewardship.
