This was the admonition that Mordecai gave to Esther regarding her role in the plot that Haman had devised. He told her that God WOULD raise someone up to do the task if she didn't do it. She called the Jews to fast for her. She bravely entered the court room knowing that in doing so, she could lose her life. It wasn't an easy step. It wasn't a minor step. Yet, she knew that she was to step up and speak for her people, the children of God.
Ever wonder what your "such a time as this" would be. I have wondered when I have responded to God's call, if I wouldn't have stepped up to this, who would have gotten the blessing instead.
We are called to be a light. To set our lights on a hilltop and never to hide our light. As you go through your day, notice what your light is shining on. Your children? Your mate? Your friends? Your coworkers? Who is God calling you to shine His light on today?
We are not always called to step before a king or to make a decision to follow God even if it means that you may lose your life...today. But I believe how I respond to the little tasks that He has given me, will give me the strength and the faith to respond to the larger things.
As dusk turns to the blackness of night, the light from the light houses appear to get brighter. Actually, the light has not changed; it is the darkness that allows it to shine brighter. Wherever you are in your walk today, your light can shine. For such a time as this, you were called to walk before Him today. Praise Him for the path that He is leading you on and preparing you for your time to shine for Him.
