So
Let Us Come Boldly To The Throne Of Our Gracious God.
There
We Will Receive His Mercy,
And
We Will Find Grace To Help Us When We Need It Most.
Scripture
Hebrews
4
12 For the
word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest
two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and
marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
13 Nothing
in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed
before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.
14 So
then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus
the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.
15 This High
Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the
same testings we do, yet he did not sin.
16 So let us
come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive
his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
Observation
There
is so much in these five verses! I hope you will take time to read
them over and over again and let the truth of what God is saying to
us sink in. It is just what I am doing right now.
You
don't think that anyone understands what you are going through –
nobody gets it! Oh yes, there is!
There
is Someone and He understands exactly what You and I are going
through and He tells us precisely what we need to do. His name is
Jesus!
He
tells us to boldly take our problem(s) to the very throne of God
where we can receive God's mercy and help in time of need.
Application
I
am never alone. I also know that nothing touches my life that is not
first filtered through my Heavenly Father. He is constantly at work
in my life. I am one of His children. I have direct access to my
Heavenly Fathers's throne because of Jesus Christ.
How
about you? Do you find encouragement in the promises of these five
verses?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I am so glad that You have promised to never leave me or
forsake me. I know that You are on my side. Everything that happens
to me, no matter how bad, You will turn it around for my good. I know
it because You have promised it. (Romans 8:28)
I
pray for those who are going through difficult times right now. I
pray for those who are sick. Use these verses in Hebrews 4 to
encourage them. I pray that they will cling to Your promises and
believe. Increase their faith!
