One of the glorious rights we have as children of God is His round-the-clock GRACE. There is no pleading, agonizing, or begging connected to it. We are plainly told to, “...come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” And who gave us this right? our King Himself. You can boldly claim and expect it!
When the king reached out his sceptre to Esther, she boldly entered his presence with confidence. Jesus, says the writer of Hebrews, is God’s sceptre of righteousness. And He has reached it [Him] out to each of us. Therefore, we may boldly say, “I have a right to your grace! You yourself gave me this right.” God likes such boldness in the name of His Son.
Many years ago, a doctor in London took little sick and hungry urchins off the streets, who were recommended by his friends. He asked one such waif who had recommended him. The lad answered, as he clutched his ragged clothes, “Sir, I thought these would be recommendation enough.”
