Who Knows?
“Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”
Esther 4:14b
My Takeaways
Something Old
Everyone can experience a “such a time as this moment” with God.
Esther was an orphan, raised by an uncle, reluctant to say, “yes,” to her moment.
How do you know whether this moment is a “such as time as this” moment?
Esther
- truly trusted Mordecai.
- knew where to go for support.
- knew what to do for clear confirmation.
- was willing to risk her life to obey.
Do I
- Have someone in my life I truly trust?
- Know where to go for support?
- Know how to receive confirmation?
Will I
- Risk personal harm?
Something New
What an awful life to be queen. (Esther 2:14)
Something to Do
Align myself with the right people, so when and if the time comes, I’ll be ready.
I have always loved the story of Esther. But yes, I was also thinking about the life of a queen…and for Vashti, who only said no and look what happened! A bunch of men sitting around making hasty decisions that affect a ton of people….yikes.
Love how you called him Morty….
JJorgensen, I love your reflection today! I was thinking along these same lines!?
Thanks!
