Esther 4
There is that cool passage in Esther where the Jewish people are about to get wiped out (again: somebody All the Time tryin’ to kill the Jews, God’s chosen people, see Hitler). Mordecai, Esther’s uncle, says this to her after she had become queen and he’s imploring her to go to the king for help for the Jews:
“And who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14
I think about that, when everything’s going wrong, that, hey who knows whether God placed me in this situation for such a time as this, and prepared me all along for this or that purpose. Or to do a great work on His behalf.
Next time we go to Job which puzzlingly is in the middle of the Bible when it is one of the very first events chronologically and happened somewhere around the first few chapters of Genesis. But hey if that’s where God wanted it to end up, then OK.
