Mordecai wielded his power for the good of his people. His position cannot be understated as he was effectively governing the whole Persian Empire for the King Ahasuerus. This is an example of the favour of God for His people - after years of captivity in Babylon, they were returned to Judah, and then they received favour from the empire which they lived in.
Esther 10
Mordecai’s Advancement
1 And King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea. 2 Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? 3 For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.[a]
