Grace for your spirit February 3, 2010

Grace for your spirit
Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16
Deep down inside, we know that when we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. Most of us just don't think we need Him that much, so we stay away. They say that when the Titanic was going down in the North Atlantic, the orchestra was playing music on the deck to help calm the people. As the orchestra played "Nearer, My God, to Thee", I can imagine that song took on a whole new meaning. As thousands looked at the face of death, the thought of their nearness to God was on their minds. They weren't thinking about the talent of the musicians or the pace of the song. They were thinking about God and eternity. When we sing that hymn in worship, what are we thinking about? Are we the ones that would be rearranging the chairs on the Titanic? Hymns are designed to help us draw near to God. Let's draw near and see how that works for us.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
