He in turn told Queen Esther and she then informed the king giving Mordecai the credit. This plot was investigated and the King's life was saved. Notice in verse twenty-three that it was written in the book of the chronicles in the presence of the king. Mordecai did not receive recognition or a reward for uncovering this conspiracy at this time; but in God's timing he will be recognized as we will see later in the book of Esther.
My friend, our good works are like seeds that are planted by faith and their fruits don't always appear immediately. Everything happens in God's timing not in ours. Remember Joseph in Genesis 40:23 where he befriended a fellow prisoner and the man completely forgot his kindness for two years - God was working behind the scenes in Joseph's life also - the fellow prisoner remember him in God's timing which was two years later. It is so awesome how God's timing is always perfect. We have seen how God works behind the scenes in the lives of these people, you know He also works in our lives too. It is so encouraging to know that God sees our circumstances and even though it may not seem like things are going well, we can be assured that God is working in our lives according to His plan and purpose.
