Approaching God’s Throne of Grace.
Hebrews 4: 16 AMP
“Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favour] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].”
- God says we can approach His throne of grace, He is waiting for us.
- We can stand before the Father with confidence and without fear.
- The Fathers mercy is there in our hour of need.
- This past month I was desperate for the Fathers grace, I only had to call on Him in Christ Jesus’s name.
- God’s blessings come right at the moment I needed it.
Prayer
Abba Father, what a privilege I have in being able to approach Your throne of grace with all confidence and without fear. I accept and receive Your mercy and grace today in my hour of need, thank You, Christ Jesus, of Nazareth. Amen

My Identity
1 Corinthians 10: 31 ESV
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
It just struck me that I actually determine how a situation is going to turn out in my own life. Yes, me, the way I think about life, the way I approach life and how I actually interact with people in my own life. I see God in a specific way and I just cannot change, that’s me. Let’s be honest I make many mistakes, but I believe God understands me.
When I wake up in the morning I am full of smiles, I enjoy life and I am excited to start my day. I have many difficult days but I brush them off and carry on as though nothing is stopping me. I see my life as a gift from God. I am unique and the people in my life have to adjust and get with the programme.
I used to ask why me? These days I say okay what am I supposed to learn? Asking God to show me what am I supposed to learn? Checking my identity, I believe that God called me by my name, I belong to Him. Wonderfully created and in His image. I am special, brilliant, beautiful, and I feel I am talented and I think God is using me.
I believe both you and I are here for this moment in time, let’s use it to honour God.
Prayer
Lord help me to remember who I am in You. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for each day, new in your mercy. I love You, Lord. Amen

Standing in the storm
Hebrews 4: 15 (AMP)
For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committin any] sin.
Steve Jobs said something to this effect "Never take a decision on something when you are feeling angry or hurt, wait for the pain to go over and then once you feel better than take action."
So here the thing, I found myself in an emotional turmoil. All of a sudden my whole life was upside down, I didn’t know if I was coming or going. I didn’t understand what brought the problem on but I suspect it was the work of the devil. As you know he comes to steal and destroy.
I wanted to give up on everything and I mean everything. I had enough and I didn’t want to go through this nonsense again. I also said to myself “enough”.
Thank You, Lord for not letting me give up, I just had to turn to You. Now the Lord Jesus came into this world as a newborn child, flesh and blood. He had to endure all the same hardships most of us endure. Jesus knew what we are facing and can relate.
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, You know me better than I know myself, today I want to say thank You for not letting me give up. Thank You for encouraging me, as my High Priest and my Advocate. Giving me the necessary wisdom and insight for what I went through. I love You Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I will not give up and I am holding on to YOU with all my might. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen
