Esther 4
Mordecai's words to Esther ring out to us over the centuries: And who knows that you have come to such a royal (insert your situation) position for such a time as this? (verse 14)

Esther's people, the Jews, were about to be destroyed by the evil Haman, the king's right hand man. As the queen, she could possibly have the power to persuade the king to not allow this to happen. Though it was dangerous, even for the queen, to approach the king unsummoned, Esther decided to take this risk. She and her maids fasted and prayed as they sought God for strength in their dilemma.

God puts us in different places in our lives with different people for a reason. Perhaps the situation you face is "for such a time as this." Let's look for opportunities to serve God and others no matter what our circumstances.
