And Who Knows…

“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

 

Are you strategically placed at your job, in your ministry, with your family?

Have you ever considered that perhaps God has you right where He wants you?

Mordecai was Esther’s uncle.

He had the wisdom to understand that Esther, as beautiful as she may have been, was not in the King’s court just because she was beautiful.

She was there by divine appointment.

She was where she was because God had set her in place for His purposes.

Has God set you in place?

Is there a turn of events that God has set up with you being the ‘hinge’ on which those events must turn?

Think about it.

There are no mistakes, happenstances or accidents in the Kingdom of God.

If you are fully surrendered to Him, He can use you as He used Esther.

Maybe it’s not to turn a nation but to turn a person.

Is that any less important?

Of course not!

I don’t know who is waiting on your “Yes” to God.

I suspect someone is.

Perhaps multitudes.

Can God use someone else?

Of course He can and He will.

But is that what you want?

Here was Esther’s response:

“Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai:

“Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me.

Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day.

I and my attendants will fast as you do.

When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law.

And if I perish, I perish.”

What will your response be?
