For Such a Time as This

Image
The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. — Esther 2:17 (NKJV) God placed Esther in position of royalty to save His people. In Esther 4:16, she said: “And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!” She was willing to risk her life to plead with the king for her people. When we follow the leading of His Holy Spirit, He will ensure that we are in the proper position at the appointed time to fulfill His purpose and plan. We will be empowered and equipped with everything we need to accomplish the mission. Yahweh is faithful to provide everything we need and He always delivers His people from their enemies. “Who knows if perhaps you are in your current position and place for such a time as this?” (See Esther 4:14)

This is the Day!

This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.  — Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) This day has already been written in God’s book for your life. (Psalm 139:16) The fact that He woke you up this morning, means He has something for you to do today, places for you to go and people you are to meet. We are here for such a time as this. If you’re living your life in Christ, you are power-packed, strengthened and equipped to accomplish all that He has planned for you today. As you go, let His love and light shine through you, in action and in speech, and others will be drawn unto Jesus, our mighty Savior. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. (Jeremiah 31:3)

This is the Day!

This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24 (NASB) This day has already been written in His book. (Psalm 139:16) Nothing that happens today will catch our heavenly Father by surprise. And He has prepared you and equipped you for such a time as this. t You are a chosen generation... (1 Peter 2:9). Rejoice and be glad as you move onward and forward in all that God has called you to. Blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. (Jeremiah 17:7 NLT)

Chosen!

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; — 1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV) God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love (Ephesians 1:4). We are alive today because God has called us to be here for such a time as this. We were not here during medieval times or for the dark ages, but God has called us and equipped us for this present age. We are ambassadors for Christ (1 Corinthians 5:20). May we represent Him well. Let us show others the goodness of God, that those who dwell in darkness may see His light and hear His call. “ These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful. ” (Revelation 17:14)

Commit & Trust

Image
Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. — Psalm 37:5 (NKJV) Commit everything you do to the LORD. And make a decision to follow His ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). After you commit it to the LORD, trust Him to do what needs to be done to bring it to fruition in your life. He will ensure that you are equipped with everything you need at the appointed time and open doors that no man can shut. We can make our plans, but the LORD establishes our steps (Proverbs 16:9).

Do Your Part!

But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation. — 1 Corinthians 12:14-18 (AMP) God knows the gifts, talents and abilities He has given to each one of us. And He has arranged us so that we can function well together and fulfill His plan. Whatever tasks you perform in your workplace or business and wherever you fellowship at, be confident that you have been equipped to do what God has called you to do, in that place. You have an instrumental role to fulfill in your circle of influence, in your marriage, family and every other place God called you to. So we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and individually we are parts one of another [mutually dependent on one another].  — Romans 12:5 (AMP)   Let's value our differences and do our part!
