0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. One of

0:53 the things is when we look at a life today, right when we look

0:57 at the world, for example, we have this idea that you know,

1:02 what we do consistently, or what we do as a living, or what

1:07 we do you know, on a regular basis or something like that. You

1:11 know, we think that that defines our calling, that defines you know,

1:17 our destiny. You know that God has or the purpose that God has for

1:21 us and all of that. And sometimes we think that, oh my goodness,

1:25 you know, oh John, I I don't feel I'm doing anything significant,

1:29 you know what I mean? You feel like you're just playing a role.

1:34 Like maybe you know, you're in a company, you're you're you're in

1:37 the school, you're you're you know, in college, or or maybe of

1:41 course when you're in school or college, you feel like, Okay, maybe

1:42 someday I'm going to do some work. But you feel like, I don't

1:47 know if I'm playing a significant role in this world, you know what I

1:49 mean? Sometimes if you feel like that, I want to just share this

1:55 from my heart, guys, like you know, and the lot was just

1:57 putting this in my heart. Like when you think about Esther for example,

2:00 right Esther was crowned and she's become the queen right now, it's it's it's

2:07 an awesome opportunities. Now she's the queen of this big kingdom. It's it's

2:14 a very amazing opportunity. Now if if I give the opportunity to any of

2:17 you guys, you know you can become the king or the queen, I'm

2:22 sure you all would say yes, that would be awesome. Uh. And

2:25 and Esther was the queen, you know, she was the queen. And

2:30 but but the thing is this, you know, when you look at it

2:32 in a sense of like you know what is the spiritual significance of it.

2:37 Like, you know, when you look at the spiritual significance. Of course,

2:39 we learned so many things from esther, how God enabled her to find

2:44 favor, and you know, all of those things are there in su chapter

2:46 two, and of out of so many women she was selected. All of

2:50 those things are true. But then, you know, it just reminded me

2:53 of something very very important that I want. I thought, you know,

2:57 we should share that that. You know, if you look at the whole

3:00 story of Testa, like, of course, there are many many things happening,

3:04 but one of the key things we see is when they know the Jews

3:07 are all going to be killed, right, you know, she's kind of

3:13 like in a position where only she can speak up to the king. You

3:16 know, even though it means that she's risking a life, it means that

3:22 there's a lot at stake. It's not an easy choice for her to make.

3:24 But in spite of all of that stuff, you know, Mordecai convinces

3:29 her and she ends up speaking to the king, and you know, and

3:34 the rest is history. So to save the people of God, to save

3:38 the Jews basically from the evil trap. And you know, if you look

3:44 at this whole thing, right, it seems like, you know, the

3:49 majority of significance in Esther's life, like if you look at the quantity of

3:53 a life, like if she lived like for example, maybe like I don't

3:57 know how many years she lived, maybe you know, so many dead she

4:00 lived on planet third, but maybe one decision that she took. Maybe it

4:04 was happening over a period of like you know, a week or a month.

4:08 You know, like I'm saying, the whole old process and all of

4:12 these things. Maybe it's like when when Mordica is saying, maybe you're created

4:17 only or to account to become the queen, maybe just for such a time

4:20 as this. Now think about this, Maybe she was queen for so many

4:26 years, so many decades, but or significant moment was only maybe a couple

4:35 of weeks or a month. Like I'm just thinking, I'm just helping you

4:40 understand you like you look at it in this way, which means that you

4:45 know, like sometimes you feel like for the most part, I'm just living

4:48 a normal life. For the most part, nothing exciting in my life.

4:53 John, I'm not doing anything significant. I'm not I don't see anything great

4:57 happening, all right, they were different things happening in Esther's life throughout,

5:01 but then this was one of those most significant moments that you know that came

5:09 out of Esther's life, that the blessings of her life, you know what

5:12 I mean, which which saved so many thousands of Jews because of one thing

5:16 that she said. It was a significant thing. Right now, even when

5:20 you think about Joseph, you know, he went through so many years and

5:24 years of so many different things that he endured for that one moment when he

5:29 got to meet with the Pharaoh and a life changed. You see. It's

5:33 what I want to guess understand, It's not about you know, uh,

5:36 you know how he's being on cloud nine. I hope you're getting what I'm

5:40 saying right. Your Your significance does not come on how many great feats you

5:46 do, you know what I mean. But sometimes it can be like Esther's

5:49 case, where in your entire life it's just one case that you do that

5:58 is blown out of proportion to a extent, but it makes history. Like

6:03 are you getting what I'm saying? Right? A lot of times you may

6:06 feel like, hey, John, you know, fifteen years I've been working

6:10 nothing significant in my life, nothing I've not made any significant thing, you

6:15 know, like that that you can say as a worthwhile achievement or accomplishment or

6:20 something for God's kingdom. But what if maybe you are created just like Esther

6:26 out of your entire lifespan, or your entire career or your entire you know,

6:30 time on earth. Maybe you are created to do something just for one

6:38 day, you know, but that one decision or that one thing you do

6:42 that one day is going to have a rippling effect in a positive way for

6:47 years to come. Have you ever thought about it that way? When you

6:53 think about it that way, it lifts off the weight. You don't have

6:57 to keep feeling like, you know, what is my significant And I don't

7:00 feel any doing anything I'm not. I don't feel like I'm doing anything significant

7:03 today. John, I feel like, you know, I'm just going by

7:06 the day. I'm not. I don't think I'm I'm bringing in anything good

7:11 to the table today, or I just feel like I'm just occupying space.

7:14 I just feel like, you know, days and weeks and months and years

7:16 are going by, but I'm not doing anything you know, like noteworthy or

7:20 whatever. But for today, I want you to have this perspective that maybe

7:26 God created you. Maybe someday one day you may do one act, but

7:32 that will be spoken off for years and years together even after you're God,

7:42 are you getting this? So you don't have to have that pressure to live

7:46 like you know, I need to bring something or significance every day or every

7:51 month or every week or whatever. You just keep being your best, do

7:56 what God wants you to do. See different people, God's plan is different

8:00 for different people. When you think about people like uh, you know Elijah

8:03 and for example, you know Mighty Prophet, everybody says, oh, I

8:07 want to have the spirit of Elijah, I want to be like Elijah and

8:09 all of this. But if you see even Elijah, there were moment surviving

8:11 says the Lord just led him for this many years, he disappeared, all

8:16 these all these prophets you read. You see, they just showed up when

8:20 the Lord led them to and they gave the word, They did mighty deeds,

8:24 and then they disappear. You know what I mean. It's not like

8:28 that was the designation that that's what they were doing, you know, every

8:31 single day, like the rest of their life or something like that. You

8:35 know, there were there were seasons, there were there were ways god like,

8:39 and that's the thing I want you to understand. Someday, like Elijah,

8:43 you may be just sleeping, but that's also part of God's blind But

8:48 someday you may be calling down rain from heaven or fire from heaven. You

8:52 know that's also part of God's bland. And every day is not going to

8:58 be a day you're bringing down. Some days maybe just days who sleep,

9:03 but that doesn't degrade your significance. Amen, God bless you. You've been
