“When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer : “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. 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 your royal position for such a time as this?” Amen
Esther who was a Jew had become Queen on a different land. Now, Haman had conspired to kill all of Mordecai’s people (the Jews) and Mordecai went to Queen Esther so that she could use her influential position to help save herself and her own people, the Jews…
So many times we forget so easily where we came from or where we started from. When we get to that top position we so much desired and earnestly prayed for, we come to think that ” I am finally in the promised land and so I need to relax”.
No, higher responsibility is come now! Now is the time to seek others’ interest as well. If you passed through fire some time ago but now you are at the top, then there is no point making others behind to go through those same bad experiences.
You are where you are now for a purpose. And the purpose is to be a font runner for others’ breakthrough.
Meditate on this: “Do not look out for your own interests alone, but every man also for the things of others” Philipians 2:4
Pray for the heart to be able to empathize with others and help them with your influence.
