A Bold Entrance


 


Read: Hebrews 4:14-16


 

 

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace. - Hebrews 14:16

 

 

One morning, Scott Long and his wife had just awakened and were lying in bed
when suddenly a young fellow entered their bedroom.  He walked around the
bed to Scott's side.

 

If the trespasser had been a total stranger, his entrance would've been
criminal intrusion.  If he had been a friend, his entrance would've been
just as obnoxious.  But it was their toddler son who had enter their
bedroom, jumped on the bed, and boldly said, "I want in the middle." Scott
was struck with the beauty of a child's security and knowing he is wanted.

 

We are welcome in our Heavenly Father's presence as well.  Hebrews 4:16
tells us we can "come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy and find grace to help in time of need."  We can approach Him
confidently about anything-our needs and our desires-knowing that He cares
for us (1Peter 5:7).

 

Writer Phillips Brooks said, "if a man is a man and God is God, to live
without prayer is not merely an awful thing; it is in infinitely foolish
thing."

 

Let's not be foolish to ignore the help we can find in prayer to our father.
Instead, let's approach them with the boldness of a child who knows he is
loved and wanted by his father.-Anne Cetas

 

When we approach the Lord in prayer,

We can come boldly to his throne;

His children come expectantly,

for grace and mercy will be shown.- Sper

 

 

Thought for the day: Pray as a child talks to his father.
