FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.
There are moments in life when everything feels uncertain. You may feel unqualified for the challenge ahead. That is exactly where Esther found herself.
For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this. Esther 4:14
A Jewish girl made queen in a foreign land, she never imagined her life would intersect with history in such a powerful way, but when the fate of her people hung in the balance, her cousin Mordecai reminded her of something deeper: You might be here for this very reason.
It is a powerful reminder that where God places us is never by accident. He weaves every detail of our lives with purpose. You may not feel like a hero or a leader. You may not see how your small acts of faithfulness could impact others, but God does.
When Esther heard the words of Mordecai, she had a decision to make. Fear could have kept her silent, but instead, she chose courage, even if it meant risking her life. Her bravery did not come from confidence in herself, it came from trusting that God had positioned her right where she needed to be.
You may not wear a crown, but you have been placed in your family, workplace, or city intentionally. Your voice and obedience matter. Even when it feels like you are not making a difference, remember: you could be standing at the exact moment God has prepared for you.
Let this encourage you today. Do not pull back from where God has placed you. He does not waste opportunities, and He does not overlook details. You were created, equipped, and called for such a time as this.
Heavenly Father, help me to trust that You have placed me exactly where I need to be. Give me courage to act when You call me, and faith to believe that You are working through my life for such a time as this. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
