Have you ever noticed that there are times in our lives when God directs us into situations that are unfamiliar, stress-filled, and sometimes difficult circumstances? . . . And then, He requires that we deal with these difficulties, situations, or circumstances that seem to not only be out of our control, but also beyond our abilities! . . . They jar us out of our comfortable ruts and put us on a bumpy, rough road. We feel unprepared, inadequate, overwhelmed, outnumbered, and frightened.
What we don’t know is that God has been preparing us all our lives for these very moments. We are better prepared, better equipped, than we had imagined. Every moment of our walk with God in the past has been in preparation of this day, this hour, this very moment. And, if it’s any comfort, we are not the first to face those overwhelming circumstances. Esther before us was put into such a situation, and she had no more from God than we do. And yet, in spite of God’s “silence,” Esther found that she was prepared.
