In this chapter, Mordecai learns about the decree to kill all the Jews.
Esther asks about the decree and then is told the famous line from Mordecai:
Don't think for a moment that because you're in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed.
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?
Though I have heard this line many times, the above lines really hit me today while reading them.
I am learning more and more that God truly does place you in every small and big spot you are in for a reason. It is my job to take advantage of the situations I am placed in and make the difference in the lives of those around me. God puts people in my life for a reason, and though I am just one person, with the help of God I am able to do big things in my life and make a difference.
The even cooler thing about this though is that God uses us even when he doesn't have to
(if you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place)
though God doesn't have to use me, he choses to- and that is truly such a blessing!
