Into the Throne Room

by Nola Lorraine Passmore  
8/17/2017 / Devotionals


In Old Testament times, you could be killed for approaching the King in his inner court without being summoned.  However, there was a loophole.  Your life would be spared if the King held out his royal sceptre to you (See Esther 4:11).  Queen Esther, a young Jewish woman, knew the risks when she agreed to plead with King Xerxes for the life of the Jews.  God was with her and the Jews were saved as a result of her courageous actions (Esther 5:1-2; 7:1-4; 8:3-8, 16-17).

It may not be as risky to approach royalty today, but we still don’t have easy access.  I can’t just knock on the door of Buckingham Palace and expect to see Queen Elizabeth.  I would have to go through official channels, wait weeks or months for an appointment and then only have a limited time in which to bring my case, if at all.

When Jesus died on the cross, he made a way for us to have free access to God.  We don’t have to stand outside the door and wonder if He’ll let us in.  We don’t have to go through a third party to get an appointment.  We are children of the King and can enter His presence any time, day or night.   As the writer of Hebrews urges us, “let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Heb. 4:16, NIV).  What a privilege to approach the King of Glory and worship at His feet.
