Seizing God's Divine Appointments
"And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" - Esther 4:14
Life is full of divine appointments—moments when God invites us to step into His purpose and plan. Yet, there's a sobering reality: if we hesitate or miss out on what God has for us, He may raise up someone else to fulfill His intentions. The blessings, satisfaction, and heavenly rewards that person receives could have been ours.
The story of Esther is an important one to remember here. When her people faced a grave threat, her cousin Mordecai reminded her that she had a unique opportunity to intervene on their behalf. He posed the question, "And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther recognized the significance of her role and acted courageously, saving her people.
Similarly, God has specific purposes and assignments for each of us. He places us in unique positions and circumstances, equipping us to make a difference in the lives of others and advance His kingdom. But if we hesitate, doubt our abilities, or delay obedience, God may raise up someone else to carry out His plans.
The warning is clear: don't wait too long. Don't miss out on the divine appointments God sets before you. The blessings and rewards that come with fulfilling God's purposes are not to be taken lightly. They are eternally significant, and God desires to bestow them upon those who are willing to step into His calling.
Think about the talents and gifts God has entrusted to you. Think about the opportunities He has placed in your path. Is there a divine appointment you sense God is calling you to, but you've been hesitant to embrace? Don't delay. Take action today.
Remember that God's plan for your life is unique and irreplaceable. He desires to use you to impact the lives of others and bring glory to His name. When we embrace our divine appointments, we experience a deep sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, knowing we are walking in alignment with God's will.
So, seize the moments God sets before you. Embrace your unique calling and purpose. Recognize that you may have been placed in your current position "for such a time as this." By doing so, you not only fulfill God's intentions for your life but also receive the blessings and heavenly rewards that come with obedient service.
