The Queen

Esther 4
Verse 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?” there are things that we need to notice from this scripture. First we need to recognize that if we refuse to speak up, stand up and live up to the standard that God has for our lives, someone else will and not only will they do what we were supposed to do, but they will enjoy the spoils of the battle. The victory will be theirs and they will stand with Christ celebrating a victory that should have been yours. Second we need to recognize that our lives and circumstances have not been accidental, God orders the steps of the righteous, to position them in strategic places of authority for his Glory and the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. God doesn't position you as queen, just so you can enjoy the luxuries of the palace, he positions you as queen so that you can use your position and authority to save the lives of the helpless and fulfill his purpose on planet earth.

So ask yourself two questions:
Are you taking advantage of the opportunities that you have right where you are, to speak out and stand up for God?

Are you using your position and authority to fulfill the purposes of God for your life and world or have you settled into the throne forgetting those God has called you to serve?
