As my family prepared for the day ahead, I realized that each one of us had different concerns regarding the activities of the day ahead – anticipation regarding the busyness of the day, tests, appointments, to-do-lists etc. In the midst of the anticipation, I remembered a different application for grace which I realized earlier that morning– 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 – Heb.4:16.
All we needed was grace for the day: grace in the context of God’s help or favor.
What do you need grace for today? Is it for parenting, to be a better spouse, to perform better at your job, to excel academically, for a better spiritual walk, to get through a difficult time, or to breakthrough financially?
No matter how overwhelming or stressful your situation, I want you to know that help in form of grace is available.
Grace to help when you need it most
In the first part of this verse, there is an invitation to come “boldly”. That is, not with timidity or doubt. We are invited to come knowing that we have a gracious Father who is willing and able to help us.
Also, this verse reminds us of the blessings that are available at the throne: mercy and grace. It is available when you need it most and you are the determining factor of that. It is available as long as you feel you need it- that’s the best part. No one can question why or how often you need.
Furthermore, God is not weary with your request because He gives grace generously – James.4:6, so ask away!
Finally, God’s grace helped each one of us throughout that day. Comments such as, “it was a great day after all”, and “the day went smoother than I expected”, filled the day. That grace is still helping us. Today, I invite you to tap into this available grace.
