1 Samuel 30:1-31:13; Micah 1:1-2:13; Romans 9:1-29
Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14 NKJV
How remarkable was Esther’s rise from “foreigner” to queen! She couldn’t have known that her personal success was God’s plan to bless His people. Made aware of this, she was willing to hazard her life to fulfill God’s purpose. God plans “such a time as this” for each of us. Although perhaps not as notable as Esther’s, they’re the reason behind life’s learning experiences. Esther likely experienced other less dramatic, “such a time as this” events. Are we willing to be a living sacrifice for our “such a time as this” event? Embrace today for the Lord. It might be “for such a time as this.”
—David W. Oliver
Faithful endurance in life’s daily race,
Fits us for the “such a time,” that we will surely face. —D. W. O.
