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 by Jesus Culture.

| 0:25.8 | Welcome to the first 15 podcast. |
| 0:33.2 | What do you picture in your mind's eye when I talk about God sitting on his throne? |
| 0:38.3 | I always picture a massive throne with tiny little me staring up at a distant face, |
| 0:44.3 | feeling about the size of God's pinky toe. |

| 1:29.5 | Hebrews 4.16 says, let us then with confidence drawn near the throne of grace, that we may receive |

| 1:47.0 | Hebrews paints for us a picture of his throne of grace rather than a distant ruler. |
| 1:53.0 | It speaks of a throne from which comes mercy and help for those in need. |
