Many years ago, my wife and I went to England on vacation and we were able to tour Buckingham

Palace in London.

On the tour, we had the chance to glimpse just inside the Royal Throne Room.

No other place in the palace summons up more pomp and circumstance, power and even intimidation,

associated with the monarchy than that room.

The sparkling chandeliers, gilded fixtures, plush rugs and priceless artifacts make for

a breathtaking space.

But I couldn't help but wonder how it compares to the Throne Room of the Divine Monarch,

the Throne Room of God and how I would respond entering into his presence, kneeling

before his throne.

How do you think you would approach the Throne of God and what would be your plea?

Well I pray this meditation from Hebrews chapter 4 will help you discover boldness as you

come before God.

I want you to remember that you have an advocate to speak for you, a champion to plead for

you as you kneel before the throne of grace.

So to begin your meditation, find a place to be comfortable, alone, quiet and still.

We will be together for about 15 minutes, so start by settling in to wherever you are.
