Eowyn vs the Witch King
I don’t think anyone expected a woman and a hobbit to take down the Witch King. It was said that “no living man could kill him” and no one chose to think outside the box, but labeled it as an impossible task. Neither Eowyn’s or Merry’s presence on the battlefield were an accident, but a fulfillment of prophecy.
We read in the Old Testament that Esther boldly went before the king to save the lives of her people. But she was not in the right place at the right time by coincidence. She was chosen and equipped with all of the tools she needed in order to accomplish this dangerous task - including courage, selflessness, outward beauty, and faith; everything that would place her in the right position at the right time to do it.
But we may think, "Yeah, well. My personal destiny looks pretty laughable compared to that." But is it any less important than Esther's? YOU TOO were specifically chosen "for such a time as this." When the task at hand looks impossible, sometimes your brand of unique is exactly what’s needed to make it possible.
