🌅 Morning Devotion – “Such a Time as This”
📖 Esther 4:10–16
“…And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” – Esther 4:14 (NIV)

🌼 Reflection:
In a time of fear and uncertainty, Queen Esther was faced with a life-altering choice. She could remain silent and protect herself, or she could risk everything to intercede for her people. Her cousin Mordecai’s words echo across the centuries: “Perhaps you were made queen for such a time as this.”
This is more than a question of timing—it’s a divine nudge toward purpose. God does not place us in positions, families, or communities by accident. Whether you’re a parent, a leader, a caregiver, a student, or a friend—your influence matters. Like Esther, your role is not random. It is strategic in God’s plan.

🔥 A Call to Courage:
Esther knew the risk. Approaching the king uninvited could mean death. Yet her response is deeply powerful:
“If I perish, I perish.”
This is courage in action. It’s the kind of boldness that emerges when faith overtakes fear. Esther chose to stand for her people, fast and pray, and walk in obedience—regardless of the cost.
What is God calling you to do today that requires courage? Is there a conversation you need to have, a decision to make, or a stand to take?

🙏 Morning Prayer:
Lord, thank You for positioning me exactly where I need to be. Give me the faith and boldness of Esther. Help me to rise above fear and walk in obedience to Your calling—no matter the cost. May I recognize that I am here for such a time as this. Amen.
