A Bold Approach

Hebrews 4:16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

An interaction between a 4-year old boy and his pastor reminds me of the way we are to approach The Lord. Yesterday morning, a group of us were fellowshipping in the Pastor’s study in Indianapolis prior to the 8 a.m. worship service. Suddenly, an unusually loud knock interrupted the gathering and caught everyone’s attention. When one of the servant leaders opened the door, a young boy walked in, bypassed the rest of us in the room, and took a gift directly to his spiritual father, Bishop Larry D. Grinstead. His gesture caused all of us in the room to erupt in laughter.


While it’s Scriptural to reverence and honor the Glory and Majesty of our God, we must also know His Desire to be in an intimate relationship with us. And if we’re going to be in covenant with God, there must be a level of confidence that we have in communicating with Him or accessing His Presence. The Bible exhorts us to, “…come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)


If you are a Christian, always remember that you have a right to commune with your Heavenly Father—regardless to what season of life you may be in.


Let’s Pray:
“Father, thank You for giving us access to come boldly before You, in Jesus’ Name, amen.”


Daily Prayer:
“Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!”
The Prayer of Jabez, I Chronicles 4:10
