Boldness
Reference: Heb 4:12-16
We do not have to tiptoe toward God.
We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think.
So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand.
Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open. The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open.
The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation.
If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to perform? If we receive mercies in our ministries, families, and communities, what happens to the bondages? Mess transforms into miracles.
Nevertheless, Let us approach Him boldly with confidence. He is our High Priest, who sympathizes with our weakness and temptation, yet was without sin. Tempted in every way we are, yet without sin. Hence, Let us approach the living Word of God—active, sharper, judging our thoughts and intentions. Let us Come bravely, freely, like a child to a Father, to receive seasonal help in time of need. Take Mercy. Find Grace. Accept help.
