An orphan girl didn't know why her parents were taken from her. She was raised by her cousin who loved and treated her as his daughter. Then she was taken from him to be placed into the king's harem. Daily he would walk to the court of the harem just to find out how she was doing.
And from that beginning she became queen.
We may never know what God's plan is. But we have our part. All we can do is live it and look for where He leads us.
Esther threw her life on the line to save God's people. God raised her and Mordecai to a place where they could act. But, they were called to act.
When we come to the points of action we must act as well. When there is temptation ... walk, no, run away. When there is pain ... give comfort. When there is a child ... don't exasperate them, rather strengthen them. When there is loss ... give.
... if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail.
And there is our path.
When we do act are we acting for God or for man? I can't tell you how many times I took my own council and then went off before aiming. It isn't "ready ... FIRE ... aim!"
Getting ready and aiming is about getting in a personal relationship with God. About listening to wise council. About listening to the LORD. Once you are primed and your aim is true. Explode your life for God.
