Queen Esther was suddenly caught between safety and obedience. What had once felt like favor now felt like a dangerous calling. She hesitated until she is reminded.
“And who knows if perhaps you have come to the kingdom
for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14).
Esther did not seek the palace for a mission. Yet God had already placed her where she needed to be. This verse reminds us that God is always working ahead of our understanding.
Sometimes life only makes sense looking backward. We wonder why we are where we are. Why this job. Why this season. Why these opportunities. Then a moment comes when faith is required, and we begin to see.
God prepares people before He reveals purpose. This may be your time. Your moment to speak, to help, to stand, or to trust. You may be closer to your purpose than you realize.
I’m Lonnie Davis, and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Prayer: Lord, help me trust that You have placed me here for a purpose, and give me courage to obey today.
