Exodus 9:1-35; Psalm 40:1-41:13; Acts 4:1-31
Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come to His seat! Job 23:3 NKJV
Job sobbed his despair at not knowing how or where to approach God with this lament, “But it is not so with me” (9:35). What anguish to be aware of the God of heaven while having no way of drawing near to Him! The mercy seat in the tabernacle was the place where God’s justice under the law met with His mercy under the blood. Today, His very throne is one of mercy to which we can always resort in time of need. Unlike Job, it is so with us! —Rick Morse
And when we’ve run the race,
And fought the faithful fight,
We then shall see Him face to face,
With saints in light. —Mary Bowley Peters
