The king held out . . . the golden scepter. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter. Esther 5:2
Many of us would have difficulty coming into our husband or bosses presence and waiting for them to acknowledge us before we approach. Yet this deference is still widely practiced in many parts of the world today.
Unlike earthly kings, the Creator of the Universe welcomes us into His presence without condemnation or judgment. He is eager to give grace and mercy whenever we have need.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Heb 4:16
Yet, I wonder, are we coming boldly or are with approaching with impertinence? How often do we "kneel" before Him as master, rather than as servants; directing Him to give us this or to fix that. How often do we pray for His will with faith and a sincere heart?
Yet, still, He is always gracious to us; withholding punishment and giving blessing upon blessing.
Always more than we deserve.
Blessings,
