And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this? After the decree to kill the Jews was issued, Mordecai and Esther could have despaired, decided to save only themselves, or just waited for God’s intervention. Instead, they saw that God had placed them in their positions for a purpose, so they seized the moment and acted. When it is within our reach to make an impact, we must do so. When opportunity presents itself, don’t withdraw, behave selfishly, wallow in despair, or wait for God to fix everything. Instead, ask God for His direction and act. God may have placed you where you are for such a time as this.
This Sunday we will continue our series from the Book of Esther, focusing on the events in chapter 4. Praying everyone has a blessed week.
In Christ,
Gary T.
