Now is the time! It is wonderful to reflect on yesterday and dream about someday, but you can not get lost in those and not live in the now. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says that “now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
The Word of God addresses us in the now. In John 2 where we read about Jesus and His first miracle at the wedding, it is about now. The story has six water pots which represent mankind. Jesus doesn’t empty out the water pots, but He transforms them with His Word. That is exactly what He does in us. We are transformed into His image by His Word. While reading the Word that the best was saved for now jumped out at me. Understanding that we were created for such a time as this. We are the best for now. You are the best for now. Father God wants us to live favor-minded! He wants us to live expecting the fulfillment of His promises in our life. The Word of God shows us that we are suppose to have an intimate and interactive relationship with Father God and our faith family.
Esther 4:14, “Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created.” The mission of heaven never changes but the men and women do. The choice lies in whether or not I do my part in fulfilling heaven’s mission on earth. God has given us jobs, positions, education, relationships, and opportunities to use bring His kingdom to earth. We are here to fulfill His divine destiny and not our own. We have a kingdom mission assignment. It is not for our own personal kingdom but for King Jesus! God has a destiny for your life, and every event can be used to make that destiny a reality. Esther’s life, Daniel’s life, Joshua’s life, your life…. it is not just a bunch of coincidences strung together. Father God has chosen you for His purpose for this time. You are the Best for Now!
