Boldly Before the Throne

Read Hebrews 4-6

Hebrews 4:16 says, "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."  There was this new director who announced he had an open door policy—anyone could come talk to him anytime about anything that was on their minds about the company.  He soon learned to close his door and set up availability hours because he spent so much time being interrupted by the couple hundred employees at the company taking him at his word, he was not able to get any other work done.

We soon learn there are good times and bad times to approach our parents, our teachers, our pastors, our bosses, even our peers and children.  We also realize we have to set boundaries around our own time and accessibility for peace and productivity.

But God doesn’t have our limitations.  We can come to him any time, any where and in any state.  We can cry out when we can’t even form real words to express our anguish.  He listens to us and He is always there when we need Him.

Tomorrow’s reading: Hebrews 7-9
