Have you ever been told that you talk to much or that you just need to shut up? I hear that occasionally. I hear about being too passionate or talking about things too much. I hear it from others and sometimes even inside my own head. “Why can’t you just shut up?"
The story of Esther shows how one woman who said what needed to be said, saved her people. Do you know the story of Esther? If you don’t you should probably read it cuz it’s cool. Basically God orchestrates it so that one person is in the right place at the right time and her saying what needed to e said woman saved her people.
One of my favorite verses is Esther 4:13 where it says “
For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
Wow. God wanted to use her — and basically he was going to get the task done one way or another, but Esther is reminded that relief and deliverance could be her doing. Her words could be the ones that made the difference.
So who around you needs relief and deliverance? Have you been placed on the earth for such a time is this to talk…. and not stop talking … until that deliverance comes to pass?
If you’ve never heard this Wayne Watson song from back in the day (and even if you have) you should listen to it. And it’s based on that verse from Esther.
So I won't stop talking about CarePortal or Vision 30 (check out the new website) because as long as their are children and families in our world who needing relief and deliverance, I refuse to keep silent.
