Even In This. Even Today.

 

And who knows

whether you have not come

to the kingdom

for such a time as this?

         Esther 4. 14

And who knows whether 

we are in this situation,

   these crazy circumstances,

    or this really hard stuff,

for such a time as this?

          God knows.

Because He has placed us here.

God strategically positions

    and appoints His people

             --including us--

for His sacred purposes,

   assignments and encounters.

How would we approach

       these things differently,

if we knew that God was in them

     and God abides in us?

We cannot fathom

  the impact of faithfulness,

even when we are least aware.

Nothing random about

    where we are at all.

God's precise timing

  and exact positioning

are perfect,

even when we think

        God got it wrong.

Because He never does.

O LORD,

In what we cannot understand,

in the scary stuff,

in the way-beyond-our-abilities,

      You are with us.

You have equipped us.

You have given us Your Spirit.

You give us Your strength.

You cover us with

      Your everlasting love.

Give us the courage

    to be faithful to You.

Even in this.

Even today.
