Joshua 24:1-33; Isaiah 19:1-20:6; 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him. Job 13:15
Job stood in absolute awe of the Lord, yet he showed boldness in approaching God in his affliction. Likewise, we are told to come boldly before God’s throne of grace (Heb. 4:16). But that boldness does not come from anything we have done, but rather from who we are in Christ. Christ’s blood paid our deserving death, and God’s righteousness is the new garment we wear as we approach Him. Because of Him, believers may come confidently to the throne of grace not as paupers but as children of God, loved and accepted in the Beloved. Therein lies our boldness—Him. —Tim Hansford
At all times, in every case,
Lead us to Thy throne of grace;
Let our needs be what they may,
Teach us how and what to pray. —W. Gadsby
