POVSample

Sometimes when we look at ourselves, it’s hard to figure out where we fit or how we would ever have influence. A woman named Esther in the Bible felt that same way. Her people were in danger and faced an unknown future. Esther wanted to help, but it felt like she had nothing to offer and no way to contribute. She needed to see God’s point of view and realize that he had her exactly where she needed to be. Esther’s cousin told her one day that maybe God chose her for this exact moment. He encouraged her to look at her life from God’s point of view. God ended up using Esther to save her people. He knew where she needed to be. And he knows where you need to be right now, too.

Challenge: Take time today to think about the gifts and talents God has given you or the places in life where you have influence. Then, use your gifts to point others to God!
