SCRIPTURE
Studied: Hebrews 4
OBSERVATION
Hebrews 4:16 ~ So whenever we are in need, we should come bravely before the throne of our merciful God. There we will be treated with undeserved kindness, and we will find help.
APPLICATION
We are such a needy people, and so dependent on a mighty God who, as this verse reminds us, will treat us with undeserved kindness and help us through our need. However there are a few considerations:
- We must know Jesus as Lord and Savior in order for us to go to Him for help, for He hears the cry of His children – and you can know Him even today by turning loose of self, asking God to forgive us of our sin, and accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior;
- Acknowledge that our Savior has performed miracles in the past, and that He has the power to do ALL things today;
- We must acknowledge that we want help, then go to the throne of God in prayer and ask for the help.
God’s Word declares it in this verse, and fellow Christians could vouch for it, that God treats us so lovingly and kind, in spite of our wicked and worldly influenced ways, that we often feel so undeserved of His love and His help. God is the ultimate example of love, let’s remember that as we turn to Him for help and depend on Him daily. He has our best interest at heart, praise the Lord!
PRAYER
- Father, we walk around with such a load of concern and worry. Thank You for reminding me through Your Word today that I need to surrender these concerns over to You and allow You to do Your work. I am so undeserved of Your love and Your watch over me, but I am extremely grateful to You for expressing Your love in so many ways each and every day. Thank You for being God, and especially for being my God! A song comes to mind, “
