This May Be Your Chance

When Mordecai asked for Esther's help, he assured her that God was goiing to bring his people through the difficulties they faced. If Esther refused, then she would receive punishment along with the people who wanted to kill the jews.

But Mordecai also challenged Esther. Perhaps this was the reason the Lord had placed her in the position of being a favored queen.

It took courage and boldness for Esther to approach the king without being invited. She was literally risking her life.

We, too, may have to risk all that is dear to us when we speak up for what is right. But, like Esther, we can be sure that the results of our efforts are in God's hands- even if it costs us our lives to do what is right.

When we trust God, things in our lives don't happen by accident. You may be in the place where you are "for a time like this".
