I was driving home from cleaning my moms house, listening and jamming out to KLove, one of my favorite Christian radio stations, when a song I could not help but sing along came on: 

♫ I woke up this morning

Saw a world full of trouble now

Thought, how’d we ever get so far down

How’s it ever gonna turn around

So I turned my eyes to Heaven

I thought, “God, why don’t You do something?”

Well, I just couldn’t bear the thought of

People living in poverty

Children sold into slavery

The thought disgusted me

So, I shook my fist at Heaven

Said, “God, why don’t You do something?”

He said, “I did, I created you” ♫

For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will come for the Jews will arises from another place, but you and your fathers family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.

Esther 4:14

We have finally come to the most popular verse in Esther: For Such A Time As This. It summarizes the major theme in the book of Esther in just one sentence! God had a hand in Esther's life in order to bring her to that moment, the choice of saving the Jewish people by using her position as Queen.

Her parents dying, being cared for by Malachi, being brought to the palace unsure of her fate, and then finally being crowned Queen. Everything she suffered, endured, and enjoyed all led her to this moment and it was no accident.
