Devotions For Lent

Throne of Grace

“Since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand.”     (Romans 5:1-2)

Read Isaiah 6:1-8.

Picture it: you are standing before the throne of God Himself. What gives you the right? In the palace of any king, one must be introduced and invited. In today’s reading we see how Isaiah responded: “Woe is me for I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips” (Isaiah 6:5). But then his lips were touched with the burning coal. Suddenly, he has the boldness to volunteer for an unknown assignment: “Here Am I! Send me” (Isaiah 6:8).

What made the difference? Mercy and grace. The throne of justice and power has become the throne of grace. God’s invitation was given that night to the lady in our church. Could she trust that this was now a throne of grace? Can you? Absolutely. Today, write a prayer to thank your Heavenly Father for the hope He gives you through grace.

Prayer Starter:
God, Your mercy and grace surround me. Give me the boldness I need to . . .
