What I am thinking about: Esther 4:13-14
Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not imagine that you in the king's palace can escape any more than all the Jews. 'For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this/"
What it makes me think: God gives each of us talents, abilities and opportunities. Just like Esther, he gives us a calling to fulfill. If we don't fulfill it; then he can get someone else to do it, but we might lose out on blessings in our lives. When called to act, I want to respond like Esther responded after Mordecai's admonition.
As I consider starting a new business, I am having to consider if this is how God has called me to invest part of my life. Is this a manner in which I can serve God and is He calling me to serve in this way? Is it the task that God has laid before me for this time and part of the reason that my life has been such as it is. If my life had been easier or more straightforward, would I even have considered this opportunity.
