Such a Time as This
Scripture
Esther 4:14 (NIV)
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?
Reflection
Esther 4:14 echoes the truth that each of us is placed in specific roles for a purpose. Esther, faced with a pivotal moment, learns that her position is not merely chance but a divine opportunity to bring deliverance. Consider the circumstances in your life. Are there situations where your voice or actions could bring relief or deliverance? How might your current position be part of a greater plan? How is God calling you to bring His Kingdom to the world?
Prayer
Lord, open my eyes to Your appointed opportunities within my reach. Grant me the courage to speak up and act when the need arises. May I recognize the purpose in every season of my life.
Action Steps
