The Rippling Effect of Time - Part 1
One of the greatest gifts God has given us is the gift of time. The first commandment that God gave Moses was the institution of the Biblical calendar.
[Exodus 12:1-2 RSV] "1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2 "This month shall be for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you."
When the Israelites were enslaved to Pharaoh, their time did not belong to them. As slaves, every day was the same without hope, creativity, and a future. When God entrusted the Jews with the gift of time, He required that they sanctify time by making it holy. They were given the command to infuse the world with holiness and the fulfillment of the will of God in the earth. Just as the moon illuminates the night sky, the light of the Word of God illuminates the darkness in the world.
In the Scroll of Esther, we see the Rippling Effect of Time. Esther's destiny defining moment took place when the king's edict went out to annihilate the Jews throughout the Persian empire.
[Esther 4:13-14 RSV] "13 Then Mor'decai told them to return answer to Esther, "Think not that in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you keep silence at such a time as this, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another quarter, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?""
Esther had a choice to make. Was she going to remain silent or was she going to cause a Rippling Effect of Time? Everyone one of us has to make a Rippling Effect of Time from time to time. The decision Esther had to make was not an easy decision. God was going to bring deliverance to the Jews either through Esther or someone else. Like all of us, Esther had free-will and she had a choice to make. What happens when you place your hands into water? It causes ripples in the water. What happens when you make choices? It causes ripples in time.
