To Be Or Not To Be Destined For Greatness?

to be or not to be are you up to the task?
to do whatever it is that of you God does ask?

Esther was chosen to be an instrument for the Lord
she was highly favored and in a place to put all in accord
Esther was prepared by her Uncle to live a life of humility
and despite being a Persian queen only he knew of her Jewish heredity
until a situation arose that put her people in jeopardy
her Uncle Mordecai then told her of her God-given destiny

to be or not to be to, to go out and take a stand?
to be obedient to the spirit and do what the Lord God commands
things occur in our lives over which we have have no control
but if you're obedient to the Lord God, He wil define for you your role
just trust in the Lord God to know for you what is best
and believe by Him you've been positoned and equipped to pass the test
we're children of the Most High God who is the King of Kings
so act like you're royalty and carry yourself like a queen

to be or not to be for such a time as this?
destined for greatness an opportunity not to be missed
