For Such a Time

"For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"  -Esther 4:14


The phrase "for such a time as this" has come up a lot lately.  But each time it is brought to mind, so also is the sentence before it.  "For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place..."  God does not need us to do His work.  He CHOOSES to use US!  How great is that!  I feel that God has placed me in such a time as this in this point in my life.  He has placed me in this situation for a reason.  He doesn't need me, but He is giving me this opportunity to act and be used by HIM.  May I not waste what He is willing to do through me.
