Such A Time

"And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"  Esther 4:14

One more day.  One more year.  By the mercies of God we live and move and have our being.  You are not here for yourself.  I am not here for myself.  Not to be what I want or do what I want or to make a great life for myself.  We exist by and through and for Jesus Christ.  "For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth....all things were created through Him and for Him.  And He is before all things, and in Him ALL THINGS HOLD TOGETHER."  Colossians 1:16-17
We are here on this earth, at this time in history, for the advancement of His kingdom and the glory of His name.  This is a time of gathering darkness.  A time of deception.  A time of wars and disasters and suffering.  But it is not a time to fear.  It is not a time to be uncertain and undecided.  It is not a time to lose hope.  It is a time when the grace of God is still freely extended to all men.   It is a time to stand up and be counted as ambassadors of the King of Kings!  It is a time to fish for men and love God with all the heart and fight on the side of Light with all the soul and dive deep in the Word and drink deep of His love and have no will but His and lose the life to find it and be all that Christ CHOSE us to be!

Father, empower us to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness and to make Your passion our own.  This is a supernatural work....possible only for You.  We don't know where You will lead us or what You will give and take away or what Your yes will look like in our lives in the days ahead.  "For all the promises of God find their yes in Him (Jesus).  That is why it is through Him that we utter our Amen to God for His glory."  1 Corinthians 1:20

But this is what we know....our Redeemer lives!  (Job 19:25)  You are Life and Your love is forever and Your Word will never fail and YOU ARE FAITHFUL!  In such a time as this, Father....we are Yours.  We trust You.
