Day 102 Approaching His Throne
Hebrews 4:16 (New International Version, ©2011)
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.
Can you imagine—approaching the throne of God?? The Bible says that we can do that without fear because we are not being judged for our sins. When we accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior, we were stamped “RIGHTEOUS.” That’s why they call it “amazing grace!!”
In these daily “meetings with God” hopefully you are becoming comfortable in the presence of God. No matter what comes up in your day or in your life, you can say, “God, what’s up with this?” God then will clarify things for you and give you instructions and direction. Amazing!
Paul was a notorious hater of Christians and thought his calling in life was to take them prisoner. We read in Acts 9:3 that Jesus confronted Paul as he was out to round up some more Christians. In a moment of time Paul’s whole life changed and in just three days time Paul was out spreading the amazing grace of Jesus Christ.
In verse 15 it says, “….This man (Paul) is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel.”
Talk about forgiven….talk about amazing grace!! God chose a notorious sinner to be his spokesman for the Good News of Jesus Christ.
In Ephesians 3: 8 Paul says, “Although I am less than the least of all God’s people, this grace was given to me…”
Wow! Do we really understand the grace of God?? Its grace that removed the filth of our sins from us and stamped us with the word “righteous” and then gave us a personal invitation to spend time with Him in His throne room so that we can serve Him with our whole hearts.
GPS (Directions)
· If you want to truly understand the grace of God that invites you to be up close and personal with Him, read the book of Ephesians.
Start with these scriptures:
Ephesians 1:7
Ephesians 2:7
Ephesians 3:12
Prayer Focus:
Thank Him for what He accomplished for you at the cross. Thank Him that you’ll never have to spend another day alone----lonely, confused, disillusioned, but that you can meet with Him and find direction for your life.
