Your Unique Place Is God’s Masterpiece

Each of us has a unique place and purpose in God‘s creation. The Bible is full of examples of the right person being in the right place at the right time, saying and doing the right thing. 

The book of Esther: The right place. The right time.

Esther was a Jewish orphan girl being raised by her cousin Mordecai, who eventually becomes the King‘s wife and the new Queen. The book of Esther tells a story of a Jewish Queen in Persia, who rest her life to stop a royal advisor, genocide plot against the Jewish people.

It’s a tale of courage, irony, and providence that establishes the annual objective festival of Purim. A girl that was in the right place at the right time.

Esther was found in the middle of a dilemma, and a focal point of crashing human opinions, and in a quandary of whether to speak up or remain silent in the face of injustice.

Maybe we have all found ourselves there. A situation that required us to act and speak courageously, even if it brings us into danger.

When Esther was faced with his dilemma, she did as she was taught. He proceeded with prayer and fasting. When she realize that she would have to break core adequate I’m not coming into the King‘s Court unless he had been called there. Esther asked Mordecai to fast for her three days and to invite all the Jews in the city to do so as well. Then she and her attendants would also fast for three days. Fasting is a deep prayerful way to turn to God for help and guidance.

Esther knew she needed God‘s help inin this situation, and asked for prayers from Mordecai and all the Jews for support.

How deep are you in prayer when you are in danger? When you realize that God is the only solution.

I believe God revealed a plan to Esther as to how she could expose the royal advisers Haman plot to kill all the Jews.

When were in situation that dire consequences, not just for us by others as well, and perhaps even for generations in the future, we shouldn’t hesitate to ask those who know how to pray for God‘s guidance and protection.

We will never know when our position is for such a time as this. And we should never underestimate the influence we can be given and circumstances because of our position.

If we follow Jesus God has adopted us as His children. We are in a royal position as children of God because we were made in His divine image and likeness. If that is not royal, at least in a deep spiritual way. I don’t know what it is.

Acknowledging and accepting the fact that we are children of God, opened our eyes in our heart to embrace the spiritual power and authority we have been given by God.

When we rise to what God has called us to do, our actions will be a blessing.

There is so much turmoil in the world today, in the global arena all the way down to the details of how people interact with each other, one on one. But, God has given us a place in this world to be a light instead of darkness, love instead of fear, hate, and indifference, the truth instead of deceit.

We were made for such a time as this or we wouldn’t be here. But I know that God has all of us to bring healing to the world. Well, I certainly don’t know your specific contribution. I know he has a calling for all of us. 

This calling comes down to a conscious choice on our part. God can prepared us for something even we’re not aware of it.

After knew that she was doing what would influence all the uses of her day when she persuaded the king to allow the Jews to defend themselves on the day they were to be destroyed. But she had no idea how far reaching the effects of her courage would go thousands of years later.

So, even if we don’t know where we need to be or the timing, it’s the spirit of humility in our hearts and the willingness to go wherever and whenever to do whatever God guides us to do. When we follow God’s guidance, we will be where we need to be in a given timeframe, and we have the opportunity to bring healing to situations.

Sometimes it’s easy to look at all the challenges in our lives or the problems in the world and wish you could go back to a previous time when things were simpler. But that’s just wishful thinking that never solves problems.

Here we are, in this present day, in this present moment, when the situations we face individually as well as collectively face the whole world. We are all here for a purpose, we were all made for such a time as this. I believe we are here for a purpose, and God has given us the ability to hear his voice and to do his will under any circumstance.

Esther was no one with special education or background. But God place her and use her to do great good. No matter who we are, God can use us.

Throughout the Bible, God used every day, ordinary people to carry out His will. And they become well known afterwards because they obey God.

Every person in the Bible, chose to step with boldness into what God called them to do. And God used them to accomplish something much bigger than just solving their own problems.

God needs our light, our courage, and most of all the world needs our love. And we were made for such a time as this.
