In Esther 4:14, Mordecai challenges Esther with these powerful words: “And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” This verse has echoed through the ages, inspiring believers to stand firm in their faith during moments of crisis. Today, as America faces political upheaval and moral confusion, this question feels more relevant than ever. Could it be that God has placed us here, in this pivotal moment, to make a difference for His Kingdom?
The story of Esther reminds us that God often works through ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Esther didn’t seek out her position as queen; she was chosen for it. Likewise, we may not have sought the challenges facing America today, but God has chosen us to live in this time. It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of societal decline, but Esther’s story teaches us that one person’s courage and obedience can change the course of history.
Now, let me say this clearly: we are not called to sit on the sidelines. Just as Esther risked her life to save her people, we must be willing to stand for truth, even when it’s unpopular. The culture around us is eroding biblical values at an alarming rate—attacking the sanctity of life, redefining God’s design for marriage and family, and silencing voices that dare to speak the truth. But as followers of Christ, we cannot remain silent. This is our time to speak, to act, and to defend the principles that honor God.
Some might argue that politics and faith should remain separate, but Esther’s story proves otherwise. Her faith informed her actions, and her actions influenced the destiny of a nation. In the same way, our faith must guide us in the public square. Leaders like Donald Trump, flawed though they may be, have shown the courage to stand for religious freedom and the values we hold dear. As Christians, we have a responsibility to support those who align with God’s truth, even when the world mocks or misunderstands us.
As we navigate this turbulent time in American history, let us remember that God is sovereign. He has placed us here, in this moment, for a purpose. Will we, like Esther, rise to the occasion? Or will we let fear and complacency keep us silent? The choice is ours, and the stakes are eternal. Let’s be bold, steadfast, and unwavering in our commitment to God and country—for such a time as this.
