Come Boldly

"Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."  Matthew 7:7

 

Children are not bashful about asking for things. They would not be normal if they did not boldly make their needs known.

God has said to His children, "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16). God is keenlly aware that we are dependent upon Him for life's necessities. It was for that reason that Jesus said, "Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" (Matthew 7:7).

What is troubling you today? Is your heart burdened because of some problem that threatens to overcome you? Are you filled with anxiety and worry, wondering what will happen next? Listen: as a child of God through faith in Christ, you can turn these over to Christ, knowing that He loves you and is able to help you. Don't carry your burden any longer, but bring it "boldly to the throne of grace"--and leave it there.
