Sunday, July 12, 2020 | For Such a Time as This | Prepared for This Moment
Start where you are now.
Enemy has a plan to destroy God’s people and His Kingdom.
- There will always be someone who resents your commitment to God
- You can’t escape pain and evil in life.
- Never underestimate power of the enemy
Never underestimate the power of your presence.
The impact of One. 2 Chron. 16:9, Is. 59:15-16
God has a plan for our lives
Mordecai nailed it when he said, “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 the royal palace for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14 NIV). God loved the Jewish people. And, he didn’t create Esther’s beauty and finesse for her and her alone. Esther was placed in a royal position to assist in the delivery of God’s divine plan.
We are given divine moments to alter circumstances. As believers, there are no such things as accidents or coincidences. God’s timing is providential. Esther’s divine moment of providence came by accepting her responsibility to go to the king. However, Mordecai was clear when he said to Esther that she could
be the one who saved the people, or not. God will use you only if you’re ready—or he will find someone else. This is your hour, speak up don’t stay silent.
We must stand with courage
“I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish” (Esther
4:16 NIV). Esther was willing to die to save her people. Sometimes we must stand in
courage, even when it is not popular to do so, and risk it all.
