Key Verse: Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16.
Maybe this verse does not need any comments. Just read it, pray on it, let it seep into your bones.
In time of need – help – find grace – receive mercy – approach with boldness.
In time of need I need help. I need answers. I need relief. God invites me to approach with boldness and ask. And he promises me help.
And the help he promises is mercy. What’s that? It may be a miracle. Maybe not. It may be healing. Maybe not. It is always mercy. And always grace.
I was reading through the book of Lamentations. A book almost without hope. Mourning the exile of God’s people and the utter devastation of Jerusalem and it’s people. Still right in the middle of this short book the writer says: “Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness his mercies begin afresh each morning.” Lamentations 3:21-23.
So boldly ask and boldly expect: Expect grace and mercy and that will give you hope.
