Highlight Passage: … Esther 4:14  … [NLT] … 

14 If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”  …

My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author,  Brent Hackett … AT THIS LINK      … related a true story of of a man who had a heart attack in the lobby of a hotel hosting a convention of nurses, who were able to attend to the medical needs of the heart attack viciim and save his life.  Pretty good timing, wouldn’t you say?  

Sometimes - actually ALL TIMES - we Christians - yes, all of us reading and sharing here today - are in the right place  … at the right time … to do God’s will.  And if my readers - here today - have taken in the linked song and God’s word - as shared above - I hope we all recognize and acknowledge that God has us … right where HE want us … to be able to serve Him … just as Esther was able to serve him in the Highlight passage.  I’m praying that we all surrender to God’s timing today and be the Lord’s ambassador right where we are!     

My Thanksgiving:… Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for placing me, Lord, just where You want me to serve You.

 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, … again Lord. …for placing us just where You want us to serve You today.  … Amen
