Day Two

A newly-promoted colonel had moved into a makeshift office during the Gulf War. He was just getting unpacked when out of the corner of his eye he noticed a private with a toolbox coming his way. Wanting to appear important, he grabbed the phone: "Yes General Schwarzkopf. Ofcourse, I think that's an excellant plan." He continued: "You've got my full support on it. Thanks for checking with me. let's touch base again soon, Norm. Goodbye."

"And what can I do for you?" he asked the private. "Uh, I'm just here to hook up your phone."

The colonel was pretending to have a relationship he didn't have- trying to impress the private with his access to the top man!

**Read Hebrews 4:14-16**

14 "So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. 16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most." (New Living Translation)

Many people try to pretend to have a relationship with God to impress others, but it's only through a TRUE relationship with Jesus Christ that we gain access to God. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you may "come boldly to the throne of our gracious God."
During your prayer, praise & listening time today, imagine yourself walking up to God's throne. He is available to you. He longs to communicate with you, and have a REAL relationship with you. Come to Him just as you are. He's right there waiting with open arms. He sees beyond your mistakes and failures and simply sees His child.
