Make That Move

I love the story of Esther.  How an orphan and a captive can become a beloved Queen to a king of an empire makes me think anything is possible.  Her story is one of purpose – she was placed where she was because she needed to complete a life-saving task.  A task that saved her race from annihilation. 

Esther was comfortable being Queen when Haman, the second in command of the kingdom, decided that all Jews should be killed.  She didn’t want to rock the boat, but the man who raised her, Mordecai, reminded her of her purpose.  He reminded her that God had placed her there intentionally.  

She gathered herself, prayed, fasted and revealed that she too would die if Haman’s plan was successful.  The king, who was head over heels in love with her, sent Haman to the death he planned for Queen Esther’s people instead of them.

Because Esther stepped up and was bold enough to take on her purpose, God and His people won.  Esther isn’t the only person born on purpose and for a purpose.  So are you and I.  We may not be destined to rule a kingdom or save a nation of people, but God has put us here to do something important.

God has placed you where you are intentionally for a specific task tailored to you.  Don’t get so comfortable in your current situation that you don’t want to make a difference, don’t want to change. Be bold!!  Someone needs you to make that intentional move because you were born for such a time as this

“Mordecai sent this reply to Esther: “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

Be blessed dear readers.
