When Esther’s
words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer: “Do not think that
because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. 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
4:12-14
It
is no accident that you are here on the earth when you are here. It’s no accident you live in this country and
were born into this family and live in that place. Everything has reason and meaning.
Some
people may rise to fame or power at the right time. Ten years later or earlier that may not have
happened. Times change. But we are all placed precisely at the right
time in history.
Esther
the queen realized she was in that position to save her people from
extinction. It may not be that dramatic
for you, but it could be. Maybe you can save just one?
Always
be aware of where you are in history and ask God, “Why am I here at such a time
as this?” He’ll show you.
