Boldness

"So let us come boldly to the very throne of God and stay there to receive his mercy and to find grace to help us in our times of need." Hebrews 4:16 (TLB)

      I wonder if we went out to the streets today and asked people which of them needed some grace, I'm confident that you would be overwhelmed by their responses. What puzzles me is how few people know the access we have to grace, fewer still know how to activate it in their lives.

      It's all about being bold. I've never met a bold person who didn't commit their hearts and mind to pursuing something. A bold person is not tepid in action, rather they understand what they need and how to get it and pursue it with abandon.

       This is exactly how we ought to come to God. God is not interested in feeble requests, He's interested in knowing how bad you want it, and how far you're willing to trust Him to deliver it to you. A few examples from the bible: 1) "If my people, who are called by my name shall humble themselves, pray, seek, CRAVE, and require of necessity My face" (2 Chronicles 7:14a) 2) "Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom come" (Matthew 6:9a) 3) "Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above anything we can ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20a). There are many more examples I could have used but I chose these in particular because a person of Boldness Craves the presence of God to activate grace in their lives, They understand His Kingship and want His rule to dominate their lives, finally, they know that He is able to do anything they need over and above anything they ask.

       Are you bold enough to see the limitless possibilities God can do in your life? He'll sustain you with His supernatural strength and you'll be able to withstand the trials and temptation our enemy brings upon us. Boldly lift your eyes toward heaven for your Deliver awaits!
