I have been thinking a lot about God’s plan for me and our church lately. The verse that has continued to come up in my mind as I think on what God is doing and wants to do is Esther 4:14. The time was fast approaching when Esther would have to stand up and do what God needed her to do. She was told, “who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this.”
I am continually humbled and confounded that the creator of the universe and all that is in it chose to use us, his followers, to carry out his plan of redemption. Yet, I am excited that we were created for such a time as this. This is our time! God created us to make a difference in our world – to carry his love and his message of hope to those around us.
You were created for such a time as this. There is no other time in the history of the world that you could have been more instrumental in God’s plan than today – NOW!
So what do we do about it?
I would love to hear your thoughts!

WOW! I am having to read and reread that statement. There is no other time in the history of the world that you could have been more instrumental in god’s plan than today – NOW!
It amazes me that in spite of all my imperfections that God chooses to work in me and thru me. I enjoyed Sunday School yesterday… teaching the high school youth. We talked about evangelism.
God reminded me of the incredible gift he has given me… not just the gift of salvation, but the gift of hope, of peace, of fulfillment and of power… not in the days to come only but also in the here and now… immediately…. Immediate access to the power of God! Wow! how could I not share that with a hurting world… with the people I sit next to.. with the people I facebook with!
