Who
knows if you haven’t come to the kingdom for such a time as this? (Esther 4:14)
God created this world and everything in it.
It belongs to Him. He orchestrates and He wills. He acts, and His purposes will
be fulfilled exactly as He desires. He has chosen to love men and women, and to
work in and through their lives. He has called you to a specific people, at a
time, in a place, where He intends to use you. Will you say yes?
Esther was presented with an incredibly
dangerous task. As the queen, she had privilege – but not without risks.
Mordecai asked her to consider her people’s lives. Their fate was execution if
she could not persuade the king to prevent the slaughter. But, Esther had to
risk her life. She did this simply by asking for the audience before the king. If
she made such a bold request, and the king denied it, she would be killed. After
praying and fasting, she took the risk, trusting God’s Providence and power. Her
people were saved. Such is the call to each person whom God calls to lead a
people. To lead them, you place at risk everything you value except your
relationship with Christ.
God has called you to a people. Love them
enough to risk everything for them.
