Esther 4:14b
New International Version (NIV)
And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
So I have been in a lot of conversations with many of my great mentors over the last couple of days and weeks. The conversations have been over what to do when God ask us to do something that we might not be comfortable with. What if God puts it on your heart to reach a generation, or a group that you feel you are totally disconnected with? What would you do, how would you handle it? It's not like you can hide it from God. Do you really think that God did not know where Adam was when He called for Adam in the Garden? Of course he did, He needed to make sure Adam knew that God knew about it. What was the first thing Adam chose to do too? He cowarded from God, stuttering and stammering I am right here God!!! So what gives us the thought that when God tells us to act, WE feel more comfortable by not acting? In a time when her entire ethnic group is about to be annihilated Mordecai tells Esther, that maybe, just maybe she was put into that particular situation for a time to help, save and release them. So no matter what we are comfortable doing, when God speaks to us and puts it on our hearts. Maybe we too were put there for just such a moment as that...
