for such a time as this ...

Good Wednesday morning, my friends.

I like the book of Esther in the Old Testament.  A few years ago at work I received an email with a link to a movie that denounced Christianity as being based on myths.  I wondered aloud to some friends about what to do about this and one of them said basically "Bruce, perhaps you were put there for such a time as this?".  I replied "Thanks, Mordecai".  (If you are unfamiliar with the story, have a look at it - a great read.)  God gives all of us opportunities to step out in faith - will you take that opportunity when you get it?

Amazing grace and eternal peace to you today,

Bruce

Jesus, in certain situations I am fearful when You speak to my heart about being obedient.  

When You compel me like you did Esther to do or say something that's not within my comfort zone I become fearful of the outcome which prevents me from stepping out in faith and following through with an obedient heart.  

Would You remind me that there is great blessing when I follow Your leading.  

Help me not to fear the outcome, for that is in Your hands.  

Thank You for Your prompting and for entrusting me to be a part of your grand purpose.  Amen.
