We explore the extraordinary ways God uses ordinary people within the story of Mordecai discovering a plot to assassinate King Xerxes in Esther 2:19-23. This remarkable biblical account reveals how regular people become part of God's extraordinary plans without even realizing it.

• Mordecai, sitting at the king's gate, overhears two royal officials plotting to kill King Xerxes
• Mordecai reports the assassination plot through Esther, demonstrating his commitment to doing what's right
• Though the king records Mordecai's act in the royal annals, he receives no immediate reward for his loyalty
• The apparent "coincidence" of Mordecai being in the right place at the right time reveals God's providential hand
• Mordecai and Esther were ordinary people who had no idea they were part of a much larger divine plan
• God consistently works through regular, obedient people rather than just through extraordinary individuals
• The story offers encouragement that God can use anyone—regardless of status or position—for His purposes
