I am currently going through a Beth Moore Bible study called "Living Beyond Yourself". It's been very challenging and profitable. She spoke about something the other day that has stuck with me. She had recently had a book signing just for children where all the kids came dressed up as princesses and knights. It seemed that they were in their natural element, as though they were born to be dressed up. She said that, as children, we all at some point dream of castles and kingdoms and such. But then we grow up, life happens and our spirit is dampened. Her suggestion was that there really is a Kingdom, with a King and his perfect court, and the Evil Invader who tries continually to break down the walls of the Kingdom.
I loved that! Maybe it's just because I'm a dreamer, I don't know. But there really is a Kingdom, however you choose to look at it. We were all meant to be a part of that Kingdom, and God has chosen his children to be princesses and knights. That makes me feel special, doesn't it you? If God has called me His princess then surely I ought to act as royalty, don't you think? Yes.
But slow down before you ask for that silver platter! Beth Moore said it perfectly: "Royalty knows in its heart that it's royalty, because the King said so. So royalty is free to be a humble servant to others until the day it receives its own crown."
However you choose to look at God's Kingdom though, all the court's people bow before Him.
