Genesis 43; Psalms 20 to 21; Matthew 25:1-30
A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. Jeremiah 17:12
One can sense the awe, power, and majesty that is in view in this verse—God’s eternal throne and the One who sits upon it. But note the lovely link with earth. It is “the place of our sanctuary.” We are privileged, even encouraged, to “come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:16). This place of authority and honour is our place of refuge and solace. Let us draw near today! —Pete Smith
Behold the throne of grace!
The promise calls me near;
There Jesus shows a smiling face,
And waits to answer prayer. —J. Newton
