Right Place at the Right Time

 

And who knows,

whether you have not

come to the kingdom

for such a time as this?

         Esther 4. 14

(For such a time as this:

split-second timing,

exact positioning,

right place

    at the right time,

even when it doesn't

    look or feel like it.

What am I doing here?

Why am I in this situation?

Who knows?  God does.

God doesn't just know,

but has intricately woven

His divine appointments

    and sacred encounters

into both everyday stuff

    and the extraordinary.

Nothing random at all,

but we are strategically positioned

             for all eternity.

What is God calling us

    to do and to be today

 in these circumstances?

To be His.)

O LORD,

We often come to places

and situations

where we don't quite

   know why

   or what to do.

Please give us the courage

  and strength to trust You,

        even in this.

We pray to You,

not for things to change,

but for the great honor

   of being used by You

for Your kingdom

            and Your glory,

in the monumental

  and even in what we see

  as ordinary.

Help us to realize

even in this very moment

that You have

  anointed and appointed us.

Please align our hearts

        with Yours.
