Just Such A Time as This

Don’t think for a moment that because you’re in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed.  If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?  Esther 4:13-14 (NLT)

We all think that we have to have some special talent to be able to do something great for God. But that’s not true. Sometimes God is using us because we are in the right place at the right time or because we have a certain experience that he needs. It doesn’t matter if you are a queen, a janitor, an introvert or extrovert. All that matters is that when he calls you are willing. He will put you in the perfect place to do what he knows you can do. Your job is to say “Yes!”.
