Where DO you go for…?

Heb 4:16 — “Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

            Where do you go for…?

When I moved to this great State, I learned quickly where lots of things were.  Learning where to go for what – is sometimes a challenge.  Do you know where to go to have your car licensed in the State of Maryland (boy that is an adventure).  Do you know where to go for a Marriage License?  How about for food that is affordable for your food budget?  Where do you go if you don’t have much money for food?

More personally, where do you go for a listening ear?  Where do you go for grace and mercy when you need those?  Hebrews talks about the Throne of Grace that we can approach boldly.  How do approach the Throne of Grace?

Here are some options, though be aware that some of them take a little practice and forethought:

  • Sacrament of Baptism
  • The Meal of Holy Communion
  • The Scriptures
  • Prayer
  • Confession
  • The Pastor
  • Another Brother or Sister in Christ

While you are thinking of all these, please don’t forget that for someone else, YOU just might be the “Throne of Grace” that they need for drawing near to God (who is ready to touch their life with Grace and Mercy).  Please be ready to dispense this important gift of God to those who come to you.  They may not know where else to go!
