Summary
In today’s devotional, we’re going to take time to come before the throne of grace in a meaningful way. May the reality of Jesus’ mercy and power establish a greater foundation of grace for us to live on today. And may we approach him with humility and confidence knowing that he only looks at us with eyes of love.
Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 4:16, and today's worship is Throne Room Song by Charity Gayle.
