From the book “Mornings with Tozer: Daily Devotional Readings” by A.W. Tozer

"Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such as time as this?" - Esther 4:14

Just as those who lived in the past had the privilege of being God’s people of faith then, so do we in our own day! It is good to come to the understanding that God wants us to be holy and Spirit filled, He does not expect us to look like Abraham or play the harp like David or to have the same spiritual insights given to Paul.

All the former heroes of the faith are dead. You are alive in your generation. A Bible proverb says that a living is better than a dead lion (see Ecclesiastes 9:4). You may wish to be Abraham or Isaac or Jacob, but remember they have been asleep for centuries, and you are still around!

You can witness for our Lord today! You can still pray! You can still give of your substance to help those who are in need!

In this, your own generation, give God all your love, all your devotion. You do not know what holy, happy secret God may want to whisper to your responsive heart!

Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for the encouragement of this devotional today. It is what I needed to hear. Use me to advance Your kingdom, Lord. Whisper, and I will obey.
