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 Good Grace by Red Rocks Worship.

Message From Craig:
We're launching a summer initiative partnering with generous donors like you to rapidly guide more believers to the presence of God through First15. And I need your help.
I ask you to prayerfully consider what you are able to give today to help us reach more people with First15. For every $1 you can give today, we can bring a real person into consistent connection with God. That’s a real person spending time daily in worship, reading, and prayer. That’s a real person going into their day with love to give, because they’ve met with Love himself.
Thank you for your continued generosity and prayers. We cannot do this without you.

| 1:09.8 | I always picture a massive throne with tiny little me staring up at a distant face, feeling |
| 1:17.0 | about the size of God's pinky toe. |
| 1:20.1 | The idea of a throne makes God seem too large to be near to me, as if He was too big to |
| 1:26.2 | notice me. |
| 1:28.2 | And there is Scripture that speaks about how large and majestic God is on His throne. |
| 1:34.1 | Isaiah 61 says, In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, |
