And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"
Esther 4: 13-14

I love this verse. Who knows why we are where we are - but more than likely it is because of "a time such as this."
A good thought to carry into the day!

I love the story of Esther! What a lovely reminder of courage in a tough spot!
ReplyDeletePour the tea. I am on my way! LOL
For such a time as this.... I agree! I want to be mindful of the opportunities He puts in our path...............
ReplyDeleteand methinks I may have missed one already this morning trying to get my too-needed weeding done instead of visiting with my 93-yr-old father-in-law. He sat outside and read the paper while I yanked weeds, but I'm wondering if I should have sat with him and had a heart to heart instead.....
I won't miss it this afternoon!
