Speaker 1 (00:00):
And sir, anybody praise party. I am Sherry Mackie, and
it's time right now for today's word. Positioned for purpose,
Positioned for purpose. Esther four fourteen says in the New
Living Translation, who knows if perhaps you were made queen
for such a time as this? When you look at
(00:24):
the story of Esther, it's a powerful reminder that your
background does not determine your destiny. Esther was young. She
was a Jewish orphan living in exile, far from what
anyone would call privilege. She didn't come from influence or wealth.
(00:44):
Yet God hand picked her, elevated her from obscurity and
position her in the palace as a queen, y'all, and
it was all for divine purpose. Easy to look at
where you are right now, or even where you're from,
(01:05):
and think I don't have what it takes. I didn't
grow up in the right family. I don't have the
education of the connections. But God specializes and using the
least likely to accomplish the extraordinary. Where you started is
not where you'll finish. When God breathes on your life,
(01:25):
his favor can lift you beyond your qualifications, and he
can place you in rooms you never dreamed you'd be
able to enter. Maybe you feel overlooked, maybe you feel unqualified,
But I want you to remember this. God doesn't choose
the qualified, He qualifies the chosen. Esterday, he step into
(01:48):
the palace because of her resume. She stepped in because
she was chosen for a purpose, and so are you.
You've been placed right where you are for such a
time as this. The neighborhood you live in, the job
you have right now, the people you're surrounded by. None
(02:10):
of it is random. God has positioned you intentionally to
bring light, to bring hope, and to bring influence right
where you stand. So you keep showing up with faith,
keep being excellent where you are, keep trusting that God
is working behind the scenes, aligning divine connections and opportunities
(02:34):
that will unfold at just the right time. He's not
limited by your background, and guess what, neither are you. Father.
Thank you for reminding us that our background does not
define our future. Thank you for your favor that opens
doors that no man can shut. God, help us to
(02:56):
stay faithful where we are and to recognize the purpose
you placed within us. God, we believe that we've been
positioned for such a time as this God, thank you
that you will use us for your glory in Jesus' name. Hey,
now that's your word for today. Take it applied to
your everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged and
(03:18):
inspired with me, your girls. Sherry Mackie is your early
morning praise party, reminding you your position for purpose,
