God's Time Best
Esther 6:3
And the king said, What honor and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered to him…


But God is never surprised, and the end of all is to make us think of Him. Nothing entered in His "book of remembrance" is ever forgotten. His time for bringing the good deeds of His people to light may seldom be the time we would judge best, but it is always the most fit. Look to this ease. Had it been a day, an hour, half an hour sooner, would the effect have been as good for Mordecai or for his people? Would humility, prayer, patience, have been called into strengthening exercise?

(A. M. Symington, B. A.)
