1.      To whom walks uprightly: - Mordecai was a servant but he was upright. Two of the king’s eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, became angry and sought to lay hands on king Ahasuerus. And this came to the knowledge of Mordecai, he told it to Queen Esther and Esther told about the plot to the king in the name of Mordecai. When the affair was investigated and found to be so, the men were both hanged on the gallows. And it was recorded in the book of the chronicles in the presence of the king. After these thing king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the Agagite and advanced him and set his throne above all the officials who were with him. King had commanded concerning him; all the king’s servants should bow and pay homage. But Mordecai did not bow down or pay homage. Haman was filled with fury. He plotted and sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus. Mordecai informed about the plots of Haman to Queen Esther. Esther fasted and prayed for 3days and revealed the plots of Haman to the King Ahasuerus. The king investigated and found it was true, so he hanged him on the gallows which he made for Mordecai. The king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave to Mordecai. Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the King in royal robes of blue and white, with great golden crown and fine linen and purple, and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced. The Jews light and gladness joy and honor. Uprightness brought honor, glory and riches to Mordecai to which the king advanced him. Let us walk uprightly and God will advance us with honor, glory and riches which what we did not ask.

2.      To who seek God’ guidance: - Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father. He only sacrificed and made offerings at the high places. And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there and used to offer thousand burnt offerings on that altar. At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, Ask what I shall give you. And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David, my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you and you have kept for him this great and steadfast love you have made his son to sit on his throne. And now, O lord my God, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in. and your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to numbered or counted for multitude.. Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this great people? It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. And God said to him, “because you have asked and seek this, and have not asked for your long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked and seek for yourself understanding to discern what is right, behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall rise after you. I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days. And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and commandments as your father David walked, and then I will lengthen your days.
