Make Believe and Reality

by PamFord Davis  
10/19/2015 / Devotionals

I like fairy-tales; they allow young and old to stretch their imaginations.

Yet, I know there is a vast difference between make believe and reality. Fiction and non-fiction are decidedly different. There is not a real fairy godmother waving a magic wand and granting wishes.

To many, Esther is one of their favorite books in the Old Testament. It is a true story with drama, intrigue, love, conspiracy, and a beautiful woman's bravery. The king did not wave a magic wand over his realm. He extended a golden scepter of grace to his beloved.

"Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king (Esther 8:4 KJV)."

Approaching the king uninvited was punishable by death. In grace, he granted Queen Esther's entrance and urgent requests that followed. It also served as a word picture of God's amazing grace.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV)."
