Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org One of the hardest things we will ever do in life is trying to find our purpose. We all want to know why we are here, and what it is God cre- ated us to do. Some people work most of their lives seeking God's purpose for them. One thing is for sure, and that is God does have a will and plan for our lives, and God will reveal that pur- pose to us. In Esther 4:6-17, Esther discovered her pur- pose. Mordecai and his cousin Esther were two of the many Jewish captives in the Persian Em- pire. When the Persian king decided to take a new queen, he chose Esther as his wife. In the king's court, there was a man named Haman who was an enemy of Esther's cousin Morde- cai, and all the Jewish people. He had deceived the king into making a decree that all Jews in the kingdom would be killed. Mordecai in- formed Esther of what was going to happen to the Jews. He wanted Esther to plead for the king to spare them, but the king had not called for Esther in thirty days. If someone went before the king without him calling them, they would be executed. Mordecai reminded Esther that she could save their people, and this was perhaps what her purpose from God was. She went be- fore the king, and Haman's wicked plans were exposed. The Jewish people were saved. Each of us are created in God's image and created for a purpose. God has something in store for each of us. We are no ac- cident, but God's children. As we seek to find God's purpose, we must remove any obstacles that get in the way. Satan will place many things in our way to keep us from know- ing God's will. In Esther's case, it was Haman that was keeping her from saving God's people. It may be sin in our lives, or relationships, or other obstacles. The most difficult thing in finding God's purpose is taking the leap of faith to go seek His will. Esther had to step out on faith to ap- proach the king. When we feel God leading us, we must follow. It takes obedience and confi- dence in God and His plan for our lives. Inaction will rob us of knowing God's purpose. God's purpose for us will not just appear, it takes us seeking that purpose by our faith and dedica- tion to God. You may know God's purpose for you, or you may be seeking that purpose now. God at the right time, will reveal His purpose for you. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us, "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them" (NKJV). God has a pur- pose for us, a purpose that He planned long be- fore us. In Jesus, we will find that purpose, and you may, like Esther, change the world for God! Rev.
