DON'T LET COMFORT SILENCE YOUR CALL

Scripture

"For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place..." — Esther 4:14

Message

Esther had a choice. She could remain silent and protect her position, or she could step forward and risk everything for the sake of her people.

Comfort can be dangerous when it causes us to ignore God's assignment.

There are times when following God's purpose requires courage. You may need to speak when silence is easier, serve when staying comfortable would be more convenient, or step into an opportunity that stretches your faith.

God has placed you where you are for a reason. Your workplace, family, community, church, and friendships are all places where your life can become a witness for Christ.

Do not allow fear of rejection, failure, or inconvenience to silence what God has placed within you.

The question is not simply, "What can I gain from where God has placed me?" Ask instead, "Who can God reach through me?"

Golden Nugget

Your position becomes powerful when you surrender it to God's purpose.
