Esther 4:14b Who knows, perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.
There is a reason why we are presently alive and living on this earth. When we consider the odds of making it to this day and still breathing to tell about it, we must recognize the abundant grace at work on our behalf. In my own family, my younger brother passed away at a young age and I have already lived longer in years than my grandfather did before he passed away.
Some people muse and say that they should have been born in another time or period in history. No, you were born for such a time as this. God has put within each one of us the ability and tools needed to meet the extreme challenges facing mankind at this time in our history. We were on God’s mind when He thought of what would be needed in this world for our appointed time of life. Jer. 1:5-A Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.
We are often the miracle someone needs. If you have the ability to teach, then teach the next generation to get a hold of God with honest fervor. If you can dance, then teach someone to dance. If you can sing, then sing for some old lonely souls who need an uplifting moment in their day because you were born for such a time as this. Use what God has given you for the glory of God and the expansion of His kingdom.
God has given everyone talents according to their capability of managing them. Matt. 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. It does not matter if someone is more talented than you are because if they do not use the talent they have for good or even bring it out into the open, then what good is it?
Don’t do what the lazy servant did; burying his God-given abilities. If you do that, then at the end of life you will bemoan the fact that you never really lived a full-hearted life. You want to hear the Lord say, “Well done faithful servant and not Matt. 25:26a But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant!
There are more ways to communicate the vision and plan God has put in our heart than ever before in history. At the touch of a keyboard or any communication device, we can give out our God-inspired message to multiple people at the same time and reach areas of the earth that were in times past unreachable. Step out with the gift you have and see what the Lord can do with anyone who is willing to be used of God. Your time is now. You have been created for such a time as this.
Thanks Norm! Great article!

Thanks for sharing your God given gift(s) with us pastor. Texting and driving, right now!! Nothing is illegal over here ( except should your tire touch the white line in a parking stall), heck they will clamp your front wheel faster than the babysitter’s boyfriend when the car pulls up. Then suck as much cash out of ya, as they can. Anyhow great post.
