Hebrews 4:16
Let
us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive
mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need ~ Hebrews 4:16
Some
people tremble at the feet of those in authority, fearing for their lives. We
are taught from the time we are young to respect authority, and sometimes it
can be overbearing, instilling a fear which is immovable. God’s throne is one
of grace, willing His people to come close, and to come with the confidence
that He will hear and answer. God knows what is in our heart, yet still He
wants to hear us pray to Him, to seek Him, to draw near to Him. We may wonder
why, if He knows me through and through, why do I need to come before His
throne to receive the grace that will help me in my time of need? He knows my
needs, He knows my problems and issues in life, why then should I have to speak
them? It is quite simple really. He wants to know you as a friend and friends
communicate with each other. Friends ask freely of each other and draw strength
from each other. God created us to be His friends, and as we have good friends we
can go and ask anything from, so we can do so with God. What have you need of
today? Go, and ask, with confidence, for your God hears you.
