Destiny

If you keep silent at this time, liberation and deliverance will come to the Jewish people from another place, but you and your father’s house will be destroyed. Who knows, perhaps you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.”
Esth 4:14 (HCSB)

Destiny is not necessarily a Biblical word but it is a Biblical concept.  It means, according to Webster's dictionary, "Something a person or thing is designated, assigned or dedicated to in advance."  It is a biblical concept isn't it.  Lets not forget that God has a plan and that plan includes you.  He has a purpose for your life.  But in God's way of doing things there is another biblical concept, Man's free will.

God gives us a choice.  We have the choice to obey or disobey.  We can work with Him or against Him.  We can choose to fulfill our destiny, His plan, or in sinful arrogance do our thing, fulfill our desires.

Be faithful and fulfill your destiny, God's plan.  You are not where you are by accident.  You are there on purpose and God has a plan to use you.  Just consider, you may be where you are, "for such a time as this."
