Ace in the hole

Mordechai exposed an assassination plot and saved the king. The good deed went without recognition for a long time. One night the king happened to be reading the history and asked if Mordechai had ever been rewarded (Est 6:3). When he discovered that nothing had been done, he determined to reward Mordechai. Ironically, it just happened to be the very day that Haman was seeking to kill Mordechai. God had arranged an “ace in the hole” for Mordechai. If you feel unrewarded or unrecognized don’t seek reward. God will vindicate you in his time. Do the right thing. You may need that good deed in the future more than you need it now.
