Born At The Right Time

Ken

You and I were born “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14 KJV). Our various backgrounds demand we take what we know and work toward where God is directing us. What do we know? “That He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). Would we seek Him, if we did not think Him to be good? What has God done? (1) God has spoken to us in the Old Covenant “unto the fathers by the prophets” (Hebrews 1:1). (2) God has further “spoken unto us by His Son” (Hebrews 1:2) in the New Covenant. (3) Christ has “purged our sins” (Hebrews 1:3), which we accept by faith. (4) “But unto the Son He [the Father] saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever” (Hebrews 1:8), establishing Christ’s preeminence over us. (5) God has made and will “make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ” (Hebrews 13:21). LORD, we thank You for Your wisdom in placing us in our circumstances. May we magnify You as we respond with understanding to our responsibilities and opportunities. May we embrace You as our perfection that ultimately “shall we ever be with the Lord” (1Thessalonians 4:17). In Jesus’ name, amen.
