Throughout history, some people seem to be in the right place at the right time. And others tend to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And still others tend to let life and all its excitements go by without any care or worry in the world.
When a situation arises, we tend to ask "Why am I here? What am I to do?" There was a queen who asked that question and was appointed to do a great thing for a nation. The queens name was Esther.
A long time ago in a nation far away, the first beauty pageant was held. Unlike todays pageants, the winner was actually crowned queen of the nation. Unsure as to why she became queen, the answer quickly showed itself. Haman, (possibly Hitlers ancestor) wanted to destroy all the jews. Esther talked with her cousin, who informed her ,"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 a royal position for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14) She was appointed queen for this reason.
Esther did what she needed and saved a multitude of Jews. Later on, Jesus, spoke to his disciples and said to them ,"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last. Then the father will give you whatever you ask in my name" (John 15:16NIV) The disciples were appointed to bear fruit. To teach others about Jesus.
What about me, you might ask? (And if you didn't, pretend you did, so you can keep reading) You have also been appointed. You've been appointed by God for the same purpose as Esther, the Disciples, Paul (Daniel, you didn't mention Paul earlier? I know, but Paul was appointed (Acts 26:16, 1 Tim 2:7) What is that purpose? To bear fruit so that people will not perish.
You may not have been appointed to be a king/queen, governor, mayor, pastor, or any other job you're not in. You have been appointed as a christian to witness to others. Whether it is to plant a seed or water the plant, you have been appointed. "Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of seaon; correct, rebuke, and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction." (2 Tim 4:2 NIV)
