“For such a time as this” is a verse many of us love—but what does it actually look like to live it out?

In this episode, we walk through Esther 4 and explore what it means to be called by God, to move beyond comfort, and to respond in obedience even when it feels costly. Through Esther’s story, we’re reminded that our lives are not random—we have been positioned with purpose and invited to walk in faithful obedience right where God has placed us.

Reflection

Take time this week to ask the Lord:

1. Where have You called me that I may be overlooking?
2. Where are You asking me to be courageous with what You’ve entrusted to me?
3. Where are You calling me to walk in faithful obedience as Your servant?
