This Moment

This moment. It has been given for a purpose. It demands attention. It allows for meaning.

This moment. It is all that I have been promised.

This moment. A gift. A miracle.

This moment. Am I using it wisely? Am I using it to His glory?

I am being reminded, challenged and encouraged to notice, celebrate, and cherish... this moment.

Acts 17:26b..."He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live."

Esther 4:14b.... "For such a time as this."
~~~~~
"As much as my flesh wanted relief, I knew that when all was said and done, I'd sit on that side of glory having much rather fulfilled my calling than served myself all the way to meaninglessness. I had to accept that I was not called to an easy life. I was called to a purposeful life."

"In times of greatest struggle when you make the God-ward decision over convenience, earthly comfort, or carnal pleasure, you too have come to a critical moment in the fulfillment of your destiny. A defining moment.


--Beth Moore
