November 2 – The Throne

Scripture: Ezekiel 3:16-6:14, Hebrews 4:1-16, Psalm 104:24-35, Proverbs 26:27

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. (Hebrews 4:16)

Observation: I hate asking for help. I hate it. I think its mostly a pride issue. I think part of it is that if I don’t have to ask then I will never be disappointed. There are some very stupid moments of my past I would never regret today if I had only swallowed my pride and got help. This is a bad trait to have when it comes to my relationships with others. It is far, far worse when it comes into play when dealing with my heavenly Father.

Application: Look at the build up of the verses in Hebrews 4. Verse 13 warns us that there is no way to hide from God. Verse 14 that Jesus is our intercessor (high priest). Verse 15, He knows what I’m going through. So vs 16, come to Him with confidence. He takes down my reasons for keeping to myself. I say, “Nobody can know about this.” He says, “I already do.” I say, “Nobody can do anything about it.” He says, “I can and I will.” I say, “Nobody can understand what I’m going through.” He says, “I’ve been there. So come to me, there’s no excuse not to.”

Prayer: God, I come to You again. You see, You care, and You can act. Help me to be willing to lay bare all my faults, and all my needs before You. I’m sorry for my hesitancy to spend time at Your throne. Help me to truly understand that it is the best place I can ever be.
