such a time as this
Esther 4:14
4:14 such a time as this. This familiar verse expressed clearly the strong confidence held by Mordecai not only in the divine calling and everlasting covenant of God with the Jews but also in His providential control of the circumstances surrounding them. In order to provide deliverance to God’s people in their hour of greatest need, an obscure Jewish orphan girl had been made queen of the greatest pagan empire in the world. By the same token, each one who receives God’s salvation is also called and equipped by God for some particular service, if he or she will only do it.
