Theme: "For Such a Time as This"
Scripture: Esther 4:14 "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: The story of Esther reminds us of the profound truth that God places us in specific times and situations for a reason. Esther’s journey to becoming queen was no coincidence; it was part of a divine plan to save her people. Yet, stepping into her purpose required courage, faith, and a willingness to act despite the risks.
We may not wear crowns or sit on thrones, but like Esther, we are called to recognize the significance of the moment we are in. God has positioned each of us uniquely to make an impact where we are. The question is: will we step out in faith?
This week, reflect on the opportunities God has placed before you. Ask Him for the courage to embrace your calling and trust that He has equipped you for the task at hand.
