-23I. Esther is faithful to her promise. Esther 2:19-20When the virgins were gathered a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the King’s Gate. Esther still did not reveal her family background or her ethnicity, as Mordecai had directed. She obeyed Mordecai’s orders, as she always had while he raised her.II. Mordecai is faithful to his king.      Esther 2:21-23During those days while Mordecai was sitting at the King’s Gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who guarded the entrance, became infuriated and planned to assassinate King Ahasuerus. When Mordecai learned of the plot, he reported it to Queen Esther, and she told the king on Mordecai’s behalf. When the report was investigated and verified, both men were hanged on the gallows. This event was recorded in the Historical Record in the king’s presence.Next Steps:Believe: Today, I turn over the little and big stuff of my life to King Jesus.Become: I will make a big deal of the small things this week.Be Sent: I will ask God to show me who to invite this Easter.Discussion Questions:How have you experienced unseen acts of God's faithfulness in your life?Do you wrestle with small issues of faithfulness in a big way?  If so, explain.What is one small act of faithfulness you can commit to this week that could contribute to God's overarching plan?How can we support one another in remaining vigilant and purposeful in our roles and responsibilities?How can you live vigilantly like Mordecai today?What are some ways we can act with integrity in everyday situations, knowing God is watching?Pray for God to use our simple faithfulness to touch someone far from Jesus this week.
