God’s timing is perfect and He does everything for a special purpose. For example, the Lord providentially placed Esther in a position of authority. Her qualifications? She was an orphan. She came from a race of people who were living in exile in a foreign land. She was poor and lacked a royal education. Yet Esther was the person God chose to become queen and save her people from genocide.

And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

Esther 4:14

The Lord still uses the seemingly weak and the powerless to change the world. The Creator of the Universe chose to come to Earth as a baby, born of humble parents in a nondescript village. Jesus Christ took His first breath in a stable all for the purpose of saving the world from sin.

Whenever you feel unequipped to make a difference for God, remember that His purpose for you is “for such a time as this.” His requirement? Your willing heart. Seek Him as He continually unfolds His plans for you to change the lives of those you encounter daily. Thank Him also for the privilege of making an incredible impact as you faithfully pray for this nation’s leaders.
