THE ADVENTURE... READ: ESTHER 4: 13-17 Verse 14: Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this! WHEN I WAS ABOUT 7, I was in the car with my mom and two brothers when my mother pulled over to the side of the road to study the map. We had been invited to a birthday party down north, and my mom wasnt sure of the location. Are we lost, Mom? I was worried. Oh, no, she replied cheerfully, quickly folding up the map. Were on an adventure. My brothers and I exchanged doubtful glances as one of them whispered knowingly, Were lost. Adventures can be fun - and scary. They usually involve a bit of the unknown. As we walk in fellowship with God, its likely that our lives will have many unique adventures - opportunities to serve Him. If were reluctant or scared and we turn down an opportunity, we miss out. Will God still get the job done? Of course. But someone else will receive the blessing. In Esther 4, Mordecai encouraged the young Queen Esther to help rescue her people. He cautioned: If you remain completely silent... deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your fathers house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this? (vs 14). Esther was naturally frightened to take this assignment. But God used her courage and faith to deliver her people. Trust God to show you the way. Adventure ahead! COURAGE IS FEAR THAT HAS SAID ITS PRAYERS....
