“For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:1414For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? (Esther 4:14)) Esther was chosen by God for the time, place and circumstances she was to be in when raised by Mordecai “for such a time as this.” Would she act for her families’ preservation or for its destruction? Mordecai had faith that deliverance would come, but would Esther rise to the occasion? She did, and we are thankful. God was honored, even when He could not publically own the Jews due to their collective unfaithfulness. For everyone of us God has ordered when are to live, where we are to be born and in what circumstances. We may learn from Esther’s life, and remember that in each of our lives there is “such a time as this.”
