'For such a time as this' means bad times 

(Esther 4.13-14) 

How many people have been at the nexus of a crisis and could have responded as Esther, but failed to rise to the occasion? How many people in countless holocausts could have responded as Schindler?

(13) Mordecai sent back this answer: "Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone of all the Jews will escape. (14) For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" 

"...for such a time as this?" is posed as a question. That sentence begins, "And who knows..." That, my friend, is the question for any given situation.

I don't know why you are where you are. You might not know why you are where you are - but God knows.

You might wish for anonymity, or, at the least, that the problem or controversy or difficulty would just go away. Perhaps it will, and maybe you won't be its victim. Perhaps some hapless other will fall prey to the designs of whatever corporate or political evil is nesting or resting in your job situation. Maybe you won't be the target.

Are we called to immunity? Is it our role to be the survivor? Is it to always be someone else sacrificed to the gods of culture, corporate expediency, political correctness, efficiency or political necessity?

"And who knows...", perhaps you are called to your situation "...for such a time as this?"
