A Time As This

Scripture Esth 4:14 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?”

Observation: I’ve always loved this scripture, because it is a reminder for all Christians that we are here for a purpose. God doesn’t just randomly do things and if we are here there is a reason and a purpose to our life and we need to search for it. When an opportunity arises for us to do something in God’s name we need to do it, we may not know where it will lead, but God knows. We are here now and God has placed people in our path and we need to do what honors God when the time comes. There is a reason and purpose to our lives and when it is time to go home I want to be able to say mission accomplished to my Lord and Savior.

Application: I need to be in the path of my purpose. I’ll never find it sitting at home on the couch watching television. I need to find ways to serve and make a difference. I believe my depression testimony is a gift from God that He wants me to share with others and I need to find more opportunities to use that gift for His glory and to help others.

Prayer: My Lord I know I’m not here by mistake, but that you have a purpose for me being here. Lord open my eyes and guide me on how you want it used for your glory. Please guide me through the rest of this life you have given me. I’m here to make a difference for you may I accomplish that through the Holy Spirit’s guidance. I love you and want to do what pleases you.
