Morning Coffee

13 he sent back this answer: "Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone of all the Jews will escape. 14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" 
Esther 4: 13-14

And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"

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!

  2. For such a time as this.... I agree! I want to be mindful of the opportunities He puts in our path...............

    and 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!
