Made For This
What are you made for?
That may be a strange question to ask yourself, but I think it’s an important question to ask.
Stop and evaluate your current standing. Look at where you are at in life. Look at your family situation, your circle of friends, your sphere of influence or lack of one, your job environment and social settings. Are you hobbling by in life? Punching life’s time clock until you reach that pinnacle moment.
What if this is your pinnacle moment?
What if everything you have lived through, worked for, studied on, labored with is for this moment in time?
What if?
Are you passing or have you let the moment pass you by?
A group of my friends have been reading the book of Esther, and in Chapter 4 there is a pinnacle moment where Mordecai asks his niece, Esther, a hard but important question.
“And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?””
Esther 4:14 ESV

The same question can be asked to each of us.
And who knows whether you have not come to ____________ (full in the blank) for such a time as this?
Maybe we should ask this question everyday, because shouldn’t every day be a meaningful one?
If we never ask the question, we will never see the limitless possibilities. It usually takes investigating ones purpose in life to find ones purpose. Every once in a while things fall into laps, but many times, it’s only found in times of searching under unturned rocks, or digging ones fingers deep into untilled soil, or diving headfirst into the unsearched trenches.
What if all the steps you have walked before today was leading you to where you are now standing? A divine purpose to radically change the path you walk tomorrow. What if your change impacts another life?
Would you take a step of faith or wait for someone else to lead the way?
Don’t miss out on the opportunities you have because fear is on your back whispering that you’re not good enough.
And don’t surrender your dreams because the lies you have told yourself have tied you down to your current circumstances.
With your hands you can either tie the knots tighter or break free from the bondage. Sitting still and doing nothing is still doing something. Nothing.
Don’t cop out to the belief that you are not able to do it. That is just a lie that will give birth to another lie and then another lie. And soon you will have generations of lies that bicker louder than an uncivil family reunion.
You have to kill that first negative thought before it spirals out of control. There is a warrior inside each of us ready to break free and storm the tower and rescue the day.
So do it!
If you don’t take that first step, you only have yourself to blame. And blaming yourself is a horrible place to be.
You are made for whatever circumstance, obstacle, opportunity, crisis, dilemma, agenda, goal, dream, or plan that you are facing.
How are you going to face it?
It’s time to storm the royal courts and be heard. It’s time to stand in boldness and shake off the fear and doubt that so easily entangles. It’s time to fight with confidence.
It’s time for bravery to surface, because bravery only shines during moments when bravery is needed.
You were made for something great.
Will you follow the call?
Because life is ringing.
