Mordecai was humble. This was seen in Esther 6:12. The king wanted to reward Mordecai for his good deed but he needed suggestions on what to reward him with. He asked Haman what should be done to the one whom the king delights to honour.
The pride and haughtiness in the evil heart of Haman deceived him into believing that there is none other to be rewarded than himself and so he suggested uncommon rewards even up to the royal apparel worn by the king. Oh such a pride and audacity! “The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?” (Obadiah 1:3).
He was asked to do all he had suggested for Mordecai. One would have thought that Mordecai, after he had enjoyed such a great honour especially having his enemy drive him round the town and hailing him, that he would start raising his shoulder, dancing round the town and talking as if he had arrived.
One would have expected him to start abusing and taunting Haman, but not Mordecai. He went back quietly to his duty post to carry on his duty while he awaited God to perfect what He had started. He knew that God had better things in store; so, he refused to be blinded by a small achievement.
Beloved, we need to pray to God to shatter our pride. So many people cannot handle some of the good things God has in store for them, because once God starts to promote them, pride will immediately be visible and off they go away from the God that had blessed them.
Some persons would have resigned their jobs immediately and stopped relating with certain class of people simply because the king asked Haman to take them round the town in the king’s royal apparel just for one day; they can’t handle success.
Beloved, no matter the season of life you find yourself, be humble always. May the things God had already done for us not hinder us from getting what he has in store for us, in Jesus’ name.
