SUCH A TIME AS THIS
DAY 3: Esther 4:13-16
God does not just do things just because. He is strategic and intentional in everything with the purpose of Him receiving all the glory and giving victory to His children. The strategy of God will sometimes mean that we need to go into the wilderness like Jesus, be put in the prison like Joseph, or move to the palace only to hear of a death sentence on your people like Esther. Esther could have looked out for herself as queen, but the word for her was that she was in that position for such a time as this.
In other words, God puts us in the places where we are because there is a need and He intends to use us for His glory to be revealed and His victory to be seen. Why are you where you are right now? Because God is an intentional God and there is someone who needs Him. Are you willing to accept the responsibility for such a time as this?
(Prayer) Father in heaven. Lord of all creation. You see all. You know all. My limited mind is not capable of understanding why you do the things you do or allow things to happen, but what I do know is that You are in control. You have placed us in positions to spiritually defend those needing hope. We pray for strength in our spirits so that we will speak victory and not be afraid of the arrows or the terror. The time is now that we stand for righteousness. We lay aside politics, personal agendas, and the flesh so that we can speak Your agenda and not delay because time is short. Someone needs to hear the words of victory – Jesus Saves! Just like the song says, so do we say… I Speak The Name Of Jesus Over You!
