Daily Devotions: Seeds of Loyalty and Integrity - August 15, 2025

Esther 2:21–23 – “One day as Mordecai was on duty at the king’s gate, two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthana and Teresh, who were guards at the door of the king’s private quarters, became angry at King Xerxes and plotted to assassinate him. But Mordecai heard about the plot and gave the information to Queen Esther; she told the king about it and gave Mordecai credit for the report. When an investigation was made and Mordecai’s story was found to be true, the two men were impaled on a sharpened pole. This was all recorded in the book of the history of King Xerxes’ reign.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor Sumrall shows how the Feast of Purim—a celebration of God’s deliverance of the Jewish people—began with two small but powerful seeds: loyalty and integrity. Mordecai, faithfully “on duty” at the king’s gate, reported a plot to assassinate King Xerxes, while Queen Esther acted with integrity by giving him full credit. These seeds not only saved Mordecai’s life but also set the stage for the salvation of an entire nation. Their example reminds us that as leaders, our decisions and actions have ripple effects that go far beyond ourselves.
