FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Bride of Christ Devotional for Sunday, 28th January, 2024
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
TOPIC: FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
TEXT: Esther 4:14 If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. What’s more, who can say but that you have been elevated to the palace for just such a time as this?”

PREACH
Timing is important. The secret to peace with God is to discover, accept, and appreciate God’s perfect timing. The danger is to doubt or resent God’s timing. This can lead to despair, rebellion, or moving ahead without His advice.
No matter your status, power and wealth, you still need God’s protection, wisdom and direction. No one is secure in his or her own strength. It is foolish to believe that wealth or position can make us impervious to danger. Deliverance only comes from God. God chooses to work through those willing to act for Him. God may have placed you where you are:
“For such a time as this” to keep praying persistently for others.
“For such a time as this” to keep giving to the work of God.
“For such a time as this” to habitually walk with God in spirit and in truth.
“For such a time as this” to serve God without fear, in holiness and righteousness all the days of your life.

PRAYER
O Lord my God deliver me and my household from all evil and use me and my family “for such a time as this” to do Your will.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
PONDER
Decide to do what God wants, and trust Him for the outcome.

PRACTICAL
