YOUR STORY
Today's reading: Esther 1-5

"...What's more, who can say but that you have been elevated to the palace for just such a time as this?" Esther 5:14 NLT

You've heard it preached. Undoubtedly you've heard every women's ministry team ever organized speak on it. You've been told it during some of the toughest times of your life. It's been written in cards. You may have even quoted it yourself in a well-meaning spirit.

But is it true?

Are you where you are because God needs you there? Do you think it happen-stance that you were born to the parents you were born to? Experienced the childhood you experienced? Were raised in the environment you were raised in? Endured the tough times you endured? Celebrated the great things you were blessed with? Have the job you have? Are the parent/grandparent/aunt/uncle/friend to a spectacular adult-to-be? Attend the church you attend? Are internet-linked with a nobody from Southern Illinois reminding you today of the God-inspired iwords spoken over the life of a young girl some 2,400 years later?

So? Is it true?

Are you where you are today for a reason?
