Esther 4:14 (KJV): “For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” The words of Mordecai to his niece Esther in 500 BC ring true to us today as believers. This is the time of year when Jews celebrate Purim – commemorating the deliverance of Jewish people from destruction once again. Esther rose to the occasion and exposed the treachery of Haman the Agagite, thereby saving the Jewish people. The words of Mordecai are for us as well. Will we rise to the occasion in our homes and families and in our nation and on our knees in prayer for this world and the fulfillment of Gods plan – or will we let others open the door for the king of glory to do His work? Do you think it an accident that we live in these times. You are here for such a time as this. Let God use us to bring His plan to pass.
