For such a time as this!

Esther 4:14 If you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?

There are two days that are very important to you. The first is the day you were born. The second is the day you find out why.

You were born for a reason, in a specific time and place, with specific circumstances and people around you. Because “God marked out your appointed time in history and the boundaries of your land. For in him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:26,28).

Do you know what you are born for? Do you know what your purpose is? Jesus said to Pilate: “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

What is your reason? What is your time? Esther was given a specific time and place, by God-design. Maybe you’re asking yourself: ‘why me? why now?’ Why am I living in 2021? Why are these things happening? The question you could instead be asking is: ‘why not me? why not now?’.

Once you find out what you are here to do, you will be unstoppable. When you do the things God wants you to do, for the reasons He wants you to do them, you are living in your best days.
