For Such a Time as This

Many times we struggle with the ways of our world. Developed countries find themselves with fewer good choices of leadership. Our global economy is negatively impacted by terrorism, social deconstruction, weather-related calamities, etc. We are daily impacted by sexual immorality on the TV, the radio, advertisements, and the Internet. While our children are more afraid of the future, our young adults are becoming more agnostic and pessimistic about faith. We may feel that everything with the world is wrong, yet we are exactly where God wants us for this time of our culture.

We weren’t born in haphazard, unpredictable chaos regardless of our parents, heritage, or physical environment. Each of us was born for God’s calling and purpose for this day and age. As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we have a role to evangelize, disciple, and witness to the lost in our generation. There are no accidental births in God’s economy—every life is valuable and unique.

In this time of unrest, we have an incredible opportunity to reveal God’s grace, mercy, and love to a lost generation. We have the power of the Holy Spirit, who gives us wisdom and insight beyond our abilities. Our purpose is connected with this generation, and we either wake up and move forward or fail in our God-given purposes.

Queen Esther had the same choice as we do today. She could’ve chosen to sit back and do nothing out of fear for her own life. But she took a stand in faith and saw the goodness of God happen through her. May we be like Esther and see the glory of Christ revealed in our walk of faith in this very age that we are living.

Prayer

Dear Lord, I pray that Your purpose be fulfilled in me for such a time as this. Strengthen me by Your Spirit to boldly live out my faith in Christ. In Jesus’ name, amen.

In His Service,
