Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.Thank God for the grace! If you've been running at a rapid rate of speed, burning the candle at both ends and living with very little personal margin lately…be encouraged – you don't have to have a meltdown; you can tap into this empowering dimension of God's grace.
(Heb. 4:16 NKJV)
Today, be bold and sprint to the throne of grace to obtain grace to help!
Like you, we live a very busy life that seems to be on-the-go more than we'd like at times. We all face legitimate demands on our time and our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual quotient. We have meetings, rehearsals, games, appointments, chores, duties and things in the schedule that are not going to go away. Life is just plain busy and a lot of it is legitimate. We all experience seasons when it feels like there are too many needs, too much on our plate or too much to do. Right? So, what do we do?
We have two options:
Option A: Have a Major Meltdown
Option B: Get Grace for the Pace
Sometimes Option A doesn't sound too bad! Sure, the thought of having a meltdown hissy fit or a cry-a-thon sounds good on certain days! But, who wants to live like that?
There is a better way. Let's just run to the throne of grace and load up on grace! God always dispenses grace to those who come and get it. Have you tapped into His grace lately?
When we access this dimension of God's grace by faith, He downloads His strength into our very spirit. He supernaturally enables us to do what we thought we could not do; He increases our margin. He gives us His ability and helps us do what seemed humanly impossible! He strengthens us in our inner man. When we are weak, He gives us His strength. Grace is a wonderful thing!
God's grace in and through us empowers us to do! Listen to what the Apostle Paul said, "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." (1 Corinthians 15:10, NKJV)
If you are living on the Red Line, take a moment and go to God's throne of grace to obtain grace.
Say It: Father, I run to Your throne of grace right now. I need more grace to help me do all that is set before me. I am so glad that You called Your throne a throne of grace – that's exactly what I need. I ask You for an infusion of Your grace – Your strength, Your ability and Your power. I ask You to download a supernatural deposit of grace into my being. I will continue to work hard and be diligent. I am confident that it won't just be my best human efforts; but it will be the grace of God working in and through me. I receive huge doses of grace right now, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
