Manna for Your Morning

and since we have a great and wonderful Priest [Who rules] over the house of God, let us approach [God] with a true and sincere heart in unqualified assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. — Hebrews 10:21-22 (AMP) Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; (Hebrews 10:23 AMP) Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised. For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. (See Hebrews 10:35-37 NKJV/AMP) Instead of being like those who turn away from God to their own destruction, draw near to Him with a faithful and sincere heart. But as for me...

Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] 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]. — Hebrews 4:16 (AMP) What an honor and a privilege that we may approach the throne of YAHWEH, at any time. May we humbly approach the throne of grace and choose to abide there. The great “I AM” is always with us, and He alone is Who we need. Let us make sure we are with Him by setting the affection and desires of our hearts upon Him. He has made His wonderful acts to be remembered; The LORD is gracious and merciful and full of loving compassion. (Psalm 111:4 AMP) Surely, He will help us in our time of need. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. (James 4:8 NLT)

Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” — Mark 1:40-42 (NKJV) Immediately after Jesus spoke the word, the leprosy was gone, the leper's skin was smooth and healthy. (Mark 1:43) This leper came to Jesus. He humbled himself and kneeled down. He acknowledged that Jesus was able to fulfill his request, when he said, “You can make me clean.” May we humbly approach Jesus, acknowledge the greatness of our God and ask for His help, because Jesus is always compassionate willing and able.  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8) Are you willing to trust Him and take Him at His Word?

Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] 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]. — Hebrews 4:16 (AMP) When we approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, we obtain mercy and forgiveness. In His throne room, we find grace to help us when we need it most. Whatever we bring to Him, know that He has the answer. He knows the way. He holds the key to unlock any door that needs to be opened. We can be confident that our God is faithful and always right on time.
