When You Need Help

 June 12

“For we do not have a High Priest who cannot
sympathize with our weaknesses,
but was in all points tempted as we are,
yet without sin. 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 4:15-16

Human beings are no match for the powers of darkness, the enemies which are out to destroy us. They are stronger than us, more intelligent than we are, and they know each of us, they know where we are weak. But God does not leave us defenseless. His Word is full of pointers and principles on how to deal with the enemy, be it the world, the flesh, or the devil.

When you’re in a situation that is too difficult for you, you are INVITED by God himself to come to the Throne of God for help. And it is so vital, that he says to come BOLDLY. The word "boldly" doesn't mean irreverence in how we speak to God, but it does mean that he holds out the golden scepter for anyone to approach him, that we might find "grace to help in time of need."

The Lord thoroughly understands our weaknesses and difficulties. At the Throne of grace we will find his mercy, and there we will find help. Take courage and go before him to find in him all that you need, in all the circumstances in life. He will welcome you, and he will help you. "Come," he says.
