Esther’s story did not begin very well but it ends well because there is nothing that can stop the move of God in your life when the right time comes. Not only was Esther living in captivity, she was also an orphan being taken care of by her cousin.
That picture doesn’t look all that promising but in the calendar of God the time had come to set Esther in her place for what God was about to do.
No matter the kind of situation you find yourself in today or the kind of background you have realize that all is just a set up because God is setting you up for something big.
When it was time God moved whomever he had to move to get Esther to the place that was appointed for her. God will do the same for you.
You may look like the underdog in the situation you are facing right now and it may seem like your chances are very slim but God will move whoever needs to be moved to get you where He needs you to be so don’t panic and don’t get discouraged.
Just make sure you are walking with Him lest you miss His timing. Esther had her place, she had her timing and she had her assignment. The same is true for each and every one of us.
There is a reason you were born in this generation and not another. You have your place and you have your specific assignment.
But realize just like Mordecai told Esther if you fail to act then God will raise up another to take your place and your blessing just like he did with the Israelites in the wilderness.
The timing was ripe but because they were not ready to believe God and move into their inheritance, God allowed them to die off in the wilderness and then God raised up their children to go in and possess the land.
Do not allow fear to paralyze you so that you miss your timing. You have come to the kingdom for such a time as this so rise up take your place and know that if God be for you, no one can succeed if they come against you.
Many are the times it may seem like the enemy is prevailing over you, but do not give up and do not get discouraged. Have the same kind of courage that Esther had. The kind of courage that will make you to say if I perish I perish.
Rise up and act when the time is ripe regardless of how the circumstances look like in the natural. You have come to the kingdom for such a time as this. Do not waste your opportunity!
Practical Application
Arise and shine for you have been brought in to the kingdom for such a time as this!
Esther 4:15-16
Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”
