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?”

Esther 4:14 NLT

With so many things going on in the world today, it is easy to look around and get discouraged. Violence. Poverty. Hunger. There are problems all around. The world is broken in so many ways and it may appear as if nothing is being done to change things.

God has created you to participate in the solution.

Today, I want to encourage you to walk in purpose! Every single believer has a God-given purpose to accomplish in this world. Your gifts and talents were created for more than just you. They are the solution to some of the very problems you see around you. What has God stirred up in your soul to do something about? If you are unsure, ask Him for guidance on how to walk intentionally. You were placed here in this moment for a reason, now is the time to act.

Advent Reflections – Even in the Waiting – Day 2

I have been lost a time or two. Usually, because I got distracted and wandered off the intended path. Whatever sparked my interest was enough to cause me to lose sight of my intended destination.
