MORNING MANNA          2-17-24

We might have been summoned to appear before the throne of Divine Justice–and then every mouth would be stopped, and all would stand guilty before God.

But behold! We are invited to come to the throne of grace! And for what purpose? That we might obtain mercy, that we might receive a free pardon–complete forgiveness of all our sins! And not only this, but that we might “find grace to help in time of need.”

The throne of grace is never vacant. The gracious King ever sits there in all His power and in all His willingness, to bless His redeemed people.

The throne of grace is always accessible. Not once a year merely, nor once a week, nor once a day, may we approach it–but at all times, and under all circumstances.

Oh, what a privilege, my soul, is this! To be permitted, nay, invited and welcomed–to come to the throne of grace whenever you are in want, and for whatever you need! May I come as I have often come before–only more reverently, more trustfully, with larger desires and fuller expectation.
