“…And who
knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14 NIV)
I don’t know many people
pondering their royal position, but I do know some, including myself, who
wonder “What’s going on here?!?” Why do I have to be involved in this
situation? Why is everything around me changing? Why can’t someone else take
care of this?
Like Esther, sometimes God
leads us to a place we don’t want to be in. We’d rather stay where we are
comfortable, doing things our own way. We can resist and drag our heels, or
even refuse by continuing on our own path. But what will we miss? What if God
wants to use us in His work and we refuse the opportunity? We may never know why
or see the outcome of His plan, but what if God is moving us to a place for
such a time as this?
I’m linking up today with Fresh Brewed Sundays. Please visit again tomorrow when I begin a three-part series on
acceptance. On Monday, I’ll post Part 1—Pray for Acceptance.
In Christ,

Such good thoughts my friend. He brings us into new places of our lives. We can't always see the bigger picture, but I know that He desires to use us to change other's lives and advance His Kingdom! Thanks for linking up!
