"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and, find grace to help in time of need."
When I was preaching this morning, the idea of access to God found a place in my heart. I think that we forget about this access as we struggle with the troubles and cares of our lives. The great news is that we have access to Almighty God at all times. This is true for you if you have received Christ into your life by faith. Don't forget that He has given us the Holy Spirit to guide and lead us. We are never without access to Him in everything, I mean, everything that we encounter. I thought about the places on this earth to which we do not have access. For example, drive to Washington to the White House. When you get there knock on the door and say that you want to talk to the president.. Not only would you find that you did not have access, but they would probably arrest you and throw you in jail. Those who protect the president and his family, do no know who you are and what your intentions might be. .The point I'm trying to make is that when you go the throne of grace, the Lord knows you and welcomes you. (It is called grace.) There are many places that you do not have access to, but the great news is that you always have access to "the throne of grace." The author of Hebrews shared this great news. We can always come to "the throne of grace that we might obtain mercy, and find grace to help in the time of need." I will admit that I have read this many times, and just went on reading and did not notice the truth of those words. Please meditate and pray over these words, and let the reality that they share with you sink deeply into your heart. No matter what you are facing in your life today, Almighty God is waiting to give you "grace to help in the time of need." Do not read this and let it go over your head. Through your faith in Christ you have access to Almighty God. Bro. Joe
