“Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14 NLT).

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Esther, whose name means, “star,” won King Xerxes’ beauty contest and was crowned as his queen. She went from being a Jewish orphan to a Persian queen. Her relative, Mordecai, who had raised her as his own when her parents died, asked her not to forget her people and to consider God’s purpose for her new position.

When God elevates us to a new job or position, we should always consider how the Lord wants to use our new influence. “Who knows?” Perhaps God put you just where you are today, so that you might tell someone about the One who can rescue them from sin and death.

PRAYER: Dear Father, we don’t understand the times in which we live. Help us to see our purpose in this time. And strengthen us to carry out faithfully the calling You have given us for this season. In Jesus’ name, amen.
