Hebrews 4:16 - New Living Translation - "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"
Imagine walking into Buckingham Palace, unnoticed and unrestricted, without knocking or announcing yourself, and pulling up a chair alongside Her Majesty, the Queen of England. "I've had such a long day. Nothing has gone right, and now my car is making the strangest noise. Could you help me out?"
Such an image is almost absurd! There is a protocol to seeing royalty - many rules to follow, not to mention the armed guards protecting every side. But there is a royal throne we can approach without fear or proper etiquette. It is without guards, payments, locks, and restrictions. Its occupant is the God of all creation, and he is eager to hear about your day's ups and downs.
Approach the throne, shamelessly pull up a chair, and lift your voice to him. He loves your company. What do you need? Ask him without fear. What gifts has he given? Thank him in person. What guidance are you looking for? His wisdom is yours if you will listen.
