EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
“For Such a Time as This!”
“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?” (Esther 4:14 )
Esther is a powerful story of how God prepares certain moments and positions us for a specific purpose. Esther was a young Jewish woman and found herself in a position of influence as queen during hard times for her people. When faced with the choice to remain silent or speak up for her people, Mordecai’s words to her send a truth that we can relate to today.
Esther was reminded that her royal position was not by chance but for a greater purpose. Just like Esther, God has placed each of us in positions, roles, and circumstances FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. Our lives are not random; they are part of God’s plan to bring about His purposes on earth. Yes, you are God’s chosen!! 👑
When we walk into the storm or opportunities to make a difference, we are called to respond with courage and faith. God might be calling us to step out in boldness, speak up for those in need, or take a stand even if we stand alone. ❤️
Like Esther…our actions, even in the smallest of moments, can have a significant impact on the lives of others.
We pray that you will be encouraged to embrace the calling and purpose that God has placed on YOUR life. We don’t have to live in fear or be silent in the face of hard things. We can boldly trust in God’s plan and leap into the calling He has prepared for us.✨✨
Let’s be brave like Esther, who recognized her position and faced the challenge for such a time as this. Walk in faith, knowing that God goes before us and equips us to fulfill His purposes in our generation so the ones after us can be saved!!! 🙏
We are worthy. We are vessels of God’s love, grace, and justice in a world that needs His light. He will empower us to make a difference for such a time as this.💗🌏
