ACCESS TO GOD

Let us then  approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may  receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

HEBREW 4:16

TECHNOLOGY IS A BLESSINGS in so many ways.Need a bit of information about a health problem? All you have To do is access the internet where you instantaneously get a list of options to guide your search.Need to contact a friend? Just send a text, email, or Facebook post. But technology can also be frustrating at times. The other day I needed to access some information in my bank account and was asked a list of security questions. Unable to recall the exact answer, I was blocked from my own account. Or think of the times when an important conversation is cut off because of a dead cellphone battery, with mobwsy to reconnect until you find a plug to recharge it.

All of this makes me delighted with the reality that when I need to access God in prayer, there are no security question and no batteries required. I love the assurance that John gives when he says, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will hear us" (1JOHN 5:14).

God is always accessible, for He never slumbey not sleeps! (Psalm 122:4). And thanks to His love for us, He is waiting and ready to listen.

Lord thank you for desiring communication with me and for the reassurance that You are indeed listening and ready to help in time of need. Teach us to come to You with confidence in Your attentive love for us.
