This is a verse to challenge us to think about the motives of our heart. We should be doing everything to honor God.
When life gets tough and you feel like you are just going through the motions of your day, day after day, you may have fallen into a trap that I know all too well. I fight it constantly. It is called surviving not thriving.
I get caught up in the day to day routine that I forget to look for where God wants to use me. What situation is happening around me that He wants me to share Him. Even if that share is just providing a listening ear or a kind word. God is at work all around us. God has a plan and purpose for everything.
Just like he placed Esther for such a time as this, He is doing the same for you. Stop looking for a way out and look up to see what God wants you to do!!
