Privilege of being a child of 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.
- Hebrews 4:16

It is said that during his short presidency, the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy allowed his children to enter his official office at any time. He gave them this privilege because they were his children. In fact, there’s a well-known photo of his son, John Jr., playing under the desk while the president worked.

We, as children of God, are even more privileged, we can enter the presence of our Heavenly Father at any moment! The King of kings and Lord of lords is always attentive to the prayers and cries of His children. He delights to hear the voices of His sons and daughters. Are you taking advantage of this great privilege?

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
- Psalm 34:15

In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
- Ephesians 3:12

Draw near to your Heavenly Father today! Call out to Him, praise Him with all your heart, and present your requests before Him. Come with confidence, for God loves you more than you can imagine. Do not take lightly your position as His beloved child, live each day close to the Father who loves you deeply and enjoys your company. He is always attentive, with open arms.

Yesterday's Word

Do you feel that you need God?

I spread out my hands to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land
- Psalm 143:6

How many times a day do you stop and say to God, “I need You, Lord”? Do you long to feel His presence at every moment? Reach out your hands to Him and tell Him! The Heavenly Father is always by your side, day or night. You only need to pause, set aside whatever is occupying you at the moment, and focus on Him. You will feel His presence. You will see how He quenches your thirst and fills your life once again with His presence, His love, and His peace.

God is never far from you; He stays by His children’s side at all times. He wants you to speak to Him and seek Him. When you do this, He does not ignore you, He listens and responds with love.

The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.
- Psalm 145:18–19

When you open your heart to God, you will feel like a plant that has gone through a drought and finally receives the water it needs. Your spirit will be renewed as you feel the loving presence of the Heavenly Father, and you will begin to strengthen your faith. Seek the Lord today, open your heart to Him, and receive the water of life that He wants to give you.

Do you need God? Seek His presence and quench your thirst for Him.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Words of blessing

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
- Ephesians 4:29

A good daily challenge is to speak words that build up and bless other people. Speak words that bring life, words that renew the heart of those who listen to you. Do not contribute to the pessimism, ingratitude, disrespect, or cruelty that are so abundant in this world.

Choose to build up, to bless, to bring encouragement to your family, your coworkers, and everyone around you. May your words be pleasing to others’ ears and music to God’s ears. You will end the day with great satisfaction and with the certainty that you have spoken what pleases the Lord.

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
- Psalm 19:14

Ask God to help you speak words of blessing that please Him. Pray that He will keep your heart pure so that what flows from within you can be a blessing to others.

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
- Luke 6:45
