Music Monday: "For Such A Time As This (Esther's Song) by Marty Goetz and Misha
I have to be honest in today's Music Monday; I can't take all the credit.
My dad pointed out to me. Not only is it a brilliant duet between father and daughter
about what Esther might contemplate before going to the king and asking
him to pardon her people-the Jews-from death. But I believe we can also glean a
few more gems from this song.
Like the Jews in Esther's time, the Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. I don't watch
the news, but I can't help seeing pictures and videos of the destruction
occurring overseas. It forced people to flee their homes to save their lives;
they have two choices- seek shelter in one of the few bomb shelters around the
city, hoping their home will survive, or flee their home country with the dream
of a fresh start.
I'll admit it's hard to watch or listen to what is going on over in
Ukraine. Still, it should give us an even deeper appreciation for the freedoms
that we have. At the same time, we are standing in solidarity with the
Ukrainians hoping to maintain their freedom. Yes, their homes may get
destroyed, but they can always rebuild. What no one can take away is their
spirit, for their country, their freedom, and their faith
This doesn't mean they aren’t afraid, emotions are natural and a part of
the human experience. Franklin D Roosevelt once said, “Courage is not the
absence of fear but rather the reassessment that something else is more
important than fear,”
