Throne of grace

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

We are encouraged by the apostle to come to the throne of God with boldness. Have you ever thought why we can have boldness when we come to God to pray? Have you noticed how the throne of God is called in this verse? Is it throne of judgment? Is it the throne of condemnation? What is it called? It is the throne of GRACE. That's right. That's where God gives favor upon favor for everyone who asks. If you need mercy, it is there. If you need God's favor for your needs, it is there. 

You need to have faith and boldness to go there. Whether you have it or not, depends on what kind of God you believe. Is He angry, judgmental, holding a grudge against you, does He punish you for your sins? What kind of God do you believe in? The Biblical God sits on the throne of grace and you cannot earn his favor. He forgives your sins for free, He answers your prayers without reminding you your past, or reproaching you for something wrong that you have done. That's right. God gives freely, with a loving heart, out of His tremendous grace, and He accepts your prayers at the throne of grace with a merciful heart. What a great God He is!

God is on the throne forever

Psalm 29:10: “The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever.”

A throne is a place of power and rule. The one who sits in it has control over a nation. Well, at least that used to be during times when kings reigned. Now, our God is on the throne. He is the Lord of the universe. Whatever your circumstances may say (they may tell a different story), our God reigns. He has never lost this power. Whatever He says, it comes true. One day his kingdom will become visible and everyone will bow before him. He is the Creator of all things. Give Him praise and trust Him. He can solve any of your problems.
