Verse of the Day: Let us therefore come with confidence to the throne of grace to find the grace that will help us at the right time (Hebrews 4. 16, literal translation of the author).
Is the whole department in the future? At one point, or a month, or a year, or a decade. We have plenty of time to worry about our imperfections. When this happens, we must resort to prayer.
- Prayer is the form of faith that joins us today with the grace that will make us fit for tomorrow’s ministry.
- Time is everything.
What if grace comes too soon or too late?The traditional translation of Hebrews 4:16 hides a very valuable promise in this regard. We need a more literal version to see it.
The most traditional text is: “Let us therefore go confidently to the throne of grace, to receive mercy and find grace when necessary”. The original Greek behind the prayer?Grace to help in case of need ?, could literally be translated as ‘thank you for helping at the right time’.
The fact is that prayer is the way to find future grace for timely help. This grace always comes from the “throne of grace” in the hour. The term “throne of grace” means that future grace comes from the King of the universe who sets times according to his own authority (Acts 1. 7).
His time is perfect, but it’s rarely ours: “For a thousand years, in your eyes, are they like yesterday who left?(Psalm 90. 4). Globally, it sets the time for nations to go up and down (Acts 17:26). And on a personal level, “in your hands, are my days?”(Psalm 31. 15).
When we wonder about the time of future grace, we must think of the “throne of grace. “Nothing can stop God’s plan from sending grace when it is best for us. Future grace is always timely.
