for such a time.
"who knows if perhaps you were made
queen for just such a time as this?"
Esther 4:14
a personal mission
statement comes to life.
Queen Esther just
didn't realize
that truth yet.
"for such a time as this."
words which grab my heart.
a time. a season.
who gets to
determine the worth
of 'such a time as this'?
who determines when
the time begins and when
the time ends?
and what qualifies
as important enough?
subjective questions
if the measure used is
any
human
standard.
so quick we are to dismiss even our own
seasons as not valuable enough to
be 'for such a time as this'.
we (at least myself) look around
and conclude that we must be in
a season of transition instead of
possibly being exactly where
Abba
wants
us.
so we scan
the horizon
for something more.
something bigger.
something better.
we live today
in tomorrow.
we live waiting
for the moment
when all will be clear.
when all the pieces will fall into place.
when all the doors will be opened by His hand.
and that day may well come!
but what about today?
what about this moment?
what about the gifts
the blessings
the lives being
touched
right
now
in your
'such a time as this'
and my
'such a time as this'?
slowly I am learning that it matters not so
much what I am doing in the season but rather
who I am becoming.
doing is important
yet doing must come
out of being.
out of being completely
and wholly in love with and
surrendered to the One who
hung the stars in space and
wrote a love story penned
with His own crimson blood.
for
such
a time
as this.
