February 22 – On this day

ON this day, I (metaphorically) really had a million and one things to do – classes, a presentation, group meetings, work … all of which had various different expectations to be fulfilled. On the one hand, one could push the “panic” button, on the other hand, after a while, this verse came to mind:

“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 4v16

Because of what Jesus did, now we are asked, first to come, and to come boldly at that. Not to the throne of judgment, or of reward, or of piercing eyes, or criticizing lips, but to the throne of grace, the throne of unmerited favor. Where it is not about how you forgot to pray yesterday, and today, or …

That we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Isn’t God faithful.

We are reminded yet again of His unfailing love, in Hebrews 11v6:
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”

Praise the Lord.
Have a glorious day.

Verses for thought:
Of the other malefactor who was hanged beside Jesus:
“And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.

And Jesus said unto Him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with Me in paradise.” Luke 23 v 42&43
