FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Friday, March 9th, 2012
We all know that “Timing is Everything”.
If you’re waiting for the fastball to guide into center field – Timing.
If you’re standing in front of an audience to make them laugh – Timing.
If you’re running for office and it’s coming together, it has to be – Timing!
Country singer Trace Adkins even wrote a song about it where the first verse goes:
When the stars line up
And you catch a break
People think you’re lucky
But you know its grace
It can happen too fast
Or a little too late
Timing is everything
I was just looking back at yet another amazingly fast week and realized that the ancient Jewish celebratory feast of Purim just flew by. This is the story of Queen Esther and how she, one brave woman, rescued her people from the hands of a jealous and murderous band of hoodlums in Persia, led by some official named Haman. This brave woman accomplished this task alongside her wise relative Mordecai.
