Testimony 24/06/05: God Has A Plan
Ever wonder why we are where we are? Surrounded by selected people? At this time and age? Well… I do. Esther did too.
She was orphaned. From the comfort of her family, she was removed to live with her uncle, Mordecai. She didn’t understand why. Then she was called to live in a palace as the king looked for a bride. Again she was plucked out of her comfort zone and lived in a secluded tower, alone with her attendants. She didn’t know why.
But even as though she didn’t understand, it doesn’t mean that God did not have a plan for her. For God used her to save the Jew from massacre! “And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14).
When I was in high school, I planned to live back home in Indonesia. But my country went to turmoil and I moved to Singapore. I didn’t understand why. When I couldn’t get into the local school because of the system, I moved to Australia. I didn’t get why. I thought I wanted to settle down in Australia, but now I am moving to China.
Even though I don’t understand why, I learn to know that it doesn’t mean God does not have a plan for me. I don’t know what’s ahead of me, I don’t even know what is after China. But one thing for sure, His plan is to prosper me, to give me hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
