The story of Esther in the Bible is often summarized in one memorable line: “for such a time as this.” But Michelle Treacy helps us look deeper. Esther wasn’t just given a moment—she was given a choice. A choice to step into God’s plan… or step aside. Tonight’s prayer and reflection challenges us to do the same: What if God placed you here in this exact moment to partner with Him in bringing justice, healing, or hope? What if the weight you carry is actually the nudge of a holy calling, awakening your heart to something bigger than yourself? What if your ordinary day carries eternal purpose? God may not need us to act—but He wants us to. He desires to partner with His people to bring His kingdom to earth in small, bold, and beautiful ways. Let this reminder stir your soul before sleep: You’re here for a reason. And God may be whispering your name for something greater. Esther 4:14 (NIV) “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
