There are people that I have looked up to over the years. It is humbling when I get to meet them. At times I have been nearly speechless in their presence. I know that none of you have that problem. Listening is normally a problem for me. Once in a while I struggle with what to say.
I was reading and came across this verse in Numbers 17:13, “Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?” These words were spoken by the children of Israel. It caught my attention that they were not to approach the tabernacle of the LORD. It was like there was a sign on it like on the back of a fire truck saying, “Keep Back 500 Feet”.
Thankfully that was the Old Testament economy. Now it is the opposite for we who know Christ as Saviour. We have access. We are told to come boldly. This means we can come confidently. Look at Hebrews 4:16, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” After reading this don’t you get great comfort from this? In the Old Testament God’s people were to stay away. In the New Testament He is inviting you and I who know Him as Saviour to come right on in with confidence.
In a day that everything seems so dark, and life seems to beat down upon you there is a place that we can go and safely commune with the Creator of the world. The best part is that He wants us to come and spend time with Him. That makes you very special. Even more special than any valentine.
So, how are you doing?
