Consecration 2026: Day 4

DEVOTIONAL — Bold Access to Abundant Grace

Scripture Focus: Hebrews 4:16
Epistle to the Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV)

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Expository Explanation
Hebrews 4:16 flows from the truth that Jesus is our Great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14–15). Because Christ sympathizes with our weaknesses and has opened the way to God, believers are invited to approach God with confidence, not fear.

The word “boldly” does not suggest arrogance; it means free, confident access—the privilege of a welcomed child, not a trembling servant. The “throne of grace” reminds us that God’s rule toward His people is marked by favor, not condemnation.

At this throne, we receive two gifts:

• Mercy — forgiveness for past failure
• Grace — strength for present and future needs

God’s help is timely, sufficient, and personal. We are not asked to clean ourselves up before coming—coming is how we are helped.

Reference Scriptures

• Romans 8:1 — No condemnation in Christ
• Ephesians 3:12 — Boldness and access through faith
• 1 John 1:9 — Mercy through confession
• Psalm 46:1 — God is a present help in trouble

Devotional Thought

Many believers stay distant from God when they need Him most. Shame whispers that we should withdraw—but Scripture invites us to draw near.

God’s throne is not a place of rejection; it is a place of restoration.
Not a courtroom of judgment—but a throne of grace.

Whatever you are facing today, grace is already available—and it meets you right on time.

Reflection Questions

1. When I struggle, do I draw closer to God or pull away from Him?
2. What keeps me from approaching God boldly—fear, guilt, or misunderstanding?
3. What “time of need” am I facing right now that requires God’s grace?

Application Point
Approach God immediately.
Don’t wait until the problem grows or emotions settle. Make prayer your first response, not your last resort.

Come honestly. Come boldly. Come expecting help.

Prayer
Father, thank You that through Jesus I can come to You without fear.
Teach me to approach You boldly, trusting Your mercy and relying on Your grace.
Meet me in my time of need and give me the strength, wisdom, and peace You promise.
Help me live today confident that I am welcomed in Your presence.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Challenge
Today’s Challenge:
The moment you feel weak, overwhelmed, or uncertain today, pause and pray immediately—reminding yourself that God’s throne is a throne of grace, and you are invited to come boldly.

Grace is not distant. It’s available now.
