I FOUND WHAT I NEEDED AT THE THRONE "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 4:16)Who among us doesn't stand in need of mercy and grace every day? Songwriter Annie Hawks wrote, "I need Thee, O I need Thee; Every hour I need Thee! O bless me now my Saviour, I come to thee!" What a confidence it is then to know that our prayers are as quickly heard as they are quickly given. It's been said, "One of the biggest problems in our prayer lives today is not unanswered prayers but unoffered prayers." Yet far too many Christians continue day after day having not because we ask not.Unlike many of the phone calls we make, our calls and cries to God are never met with a busy signal or are we ask to leave a short message for the callee to return when they get around to it. We're never put on hold, transferred to someone else, have a dropped call, or have a bad signal.On the contrary, you and I have unlimited minutes whenever and wherever we are when we cry out to God. We can always count on the Lord Jesus to respond to our prayers. It may not be what we want, but it will always be what we need!Friends, with those words in Hebrews bidding each of us to meet with the Lord at the Throne. we shall indeed find Him near and ready to hear and answer our faintest cry with mercy and grace.
