Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16
The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies. There is a scene where Dorothy and her companions are traveling through the forest; it’s dark, there are sounds of the night and they are scared and have worked themselves into a frightened frenzy. They begin to sing lions, and tigers and bears, oh my, repeatedly and suddenly the lion jumps out. Well, needless to say the king of the forest proved to be all roar and no bite. There is such a lesson to be learned in this scene. When we find ourselves in the wilderness of the lions, and tigers and bears which are dangerous by nature and would harm us and devour us, given the chance, we have to remember who we are and in Whom we trust.
Just like the characters from the movies, we sometimes work ourselves into a frenzy and most times, the things we fear the most… never come to fruition, and we sigh the sigh of relief (Is 54:17). We have to trust God and have the faith to believe He will protect us along the way, while in the darkness of the forest or in the wilderness; regardless of the situation. The scripture tells us in I Peter 5:8, “Stay alert! be sober, be vigilant, watch for your enemy, the devil. He prowls and roams around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour and destroy; we can expect that but we have to remember that we can go boldly to the throne of grace, where we can find mercy and favor in our times of need. The Lord is there, our high priest, ready and willing to fight and intercede for us to the Father because He knows what we are facing or will face. He understands for He is already in our tomorrow, yet, He is accessible to us today and at all times.
So, let’s go with assurance and with confidence and boldly to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time for every need for help that is on time, because God is a timely God. Let’s go without any doubt or fear to the throne of God, to the throne of grace; where His favor flourishes, where His mercy abides and where His grace is abundant!
Favor, and Mercy, and Grace, oh my!
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
