Hebrews 4:16 (NLT)
So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
One of the biggest struggles we will face in this life is our unbelief. I’m not talking about rejecting the Gospel or believing an atheist worldview. I’m talking about the unbelief that we, as Christians, deal with on a daily basis.
The fact that we don’t believe our God is mighty to save or able to literally heal sickness.
The fact that we don’t put much value at all in the age to come and instead dedicate our lives to enjoying this blink of an eye that is our life here on earth.
The fact that we believe that we won’t be able to pay our bills if we give any of our money to the church.
We could go on and on but the point is this: We have to stand firm in our faith. We have to really believe that God is able to provide. We have to really believe that he is worth forsaking the temporary pleasures of this life. We have to believe in life after death just as strongly as we believe in this life we are living on earth.
When we believe these things, we are able to “come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.”
When we believe these things, we are able to “receive his mercy.”
When we believe these things, we are able to “find grace to help us when we need it most.”
God, heal our unbelief.
