Do you know the story of Esther in the Bible? It’s one of my faves. If you are not familiar with this story, do yourself a favor and take some time to read it. It’s short but man is it good!
Love it.
Esther was a woman of beauty, inside and out. A woman of courage and strength. She pursued obedience when it wasn’t the easiest or most comfortable thing to do. And she did it in the most graceful way. This is type of woman I want to be. This is the kind of wife I want to be to Brian. The kind of mom I want my kids to see, especially my girls. This is the kind of friend I want to be. It’s not easy to be this kind of woman. No, not by any means. It takes purpose, choice, boldness, some grit and a lot of grace.
But.
Who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this? Esther 4:14
Oh yes. Don’t you just love this? Right now! Whatever you are facing, whatever is coming up…You were born for this time! God has been preparing you and me for this day. His timing is always perfect. He’s never early nor late but right on time.
So be confident and take hold of the truth-
Yes, you were born for such a time as this!
Embrace it.
This is one of the BILLION reasons I admire you! And you know what, you ARE an Esther to me!
I love this!!! I just wrote about Esther today… and that verse… for such a time as this… so much truth and Amen packed into one little sentence!!!
Pretty sure you wrote this just for me….perfect timing to read such a beautiful and inspiring post!
What a beautiful reminder. I’ve been working really hard to remind myself of this!
God just used this blog post to encourage me of His sovereignty in my life. Please don’t stop leading us to the cross!
Aww, thanks Linds! Keep on keeping on sister, it’s worth it!
