Esther 4:14 "For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, 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?"
Friends,
One of my favorite passages of scripture is in the book of Esther. It’s a passage where Mordecai speaks to Esther, urging her to act courageously to save her people, reminding her that perhaps she was placed in her position by God “for such a time as this.”
It’s a verse that reflects the importance of stepping up in whatever position God puts you in. It’s one that relies heavily not just on Esther’s courage but on her reliance to put her full faith in God to fulfill the plans he has for her and for His people.
That verse has always meant a lot to me. In fact, before I decided to run for governor, I prayed and asked God for a sign. I knew this race wouldn’t be easy, and I wanted to be sure this was where God wanted me to be.
