Daily Devotional by Max Lucado, May 25th

Daily Devotional by Max Lucado “the One who came still comes and the One who spoke still speaks”   May 25 Boldness Before the Throne   Let us, then, feel very sure that we can come before God's throne where there is grace. Hebrews 4:16 (NCV)   Jesus tells us...,"When you pray, pray like this. 'Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.'" When you say, "Thy kingdom come," you are inviting the Messiah himself to walk into your world. "Come, my King! Take your throne in our land. Be present in my heart. Be present in my office. Come into my marriage. Be Lord of my family, my fears, and my doubts." This is no feeble request; it's a bold appeal for God to occupy every corner of your life. [And] who are you to ask such a thing? Who are you to ask God to take control of your world? You are his child, for heavens sake! And so you ask boldly.           From: The Great House of God Copyright (Word Publishing, 1997) Max Lucado
