HOW TO APPROACH GOD THE RIGHT WAY

Imagine you were invited to go to the home of your favorite U.S. President... How would you prepare for that visit? Would you think about how you approached him? Would you address him properly? Would you show him how grateful you are for the opportunity to meet him? Would you be very aware of what you said and your body language? I am sure that you would. 

What about when you go to the church house? How do you prepare yourself to come before  the King of kings and Lord of lords? Do you come to church focused on coming to Him with all humility and sincerity? Do you approach Him with a "Thy will be done" attitude or a "my will be done" attitude? 

How should you approach God? Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

1. First, we must realize that we can and should approach God's throne. 
2. We must approach His throne with confidence that we are able to come before Him. 
3. We must remember that our confidence is not because of our goodness or accomplishments, but because of the mercy and grace God showed us through His Son, Jesus Christ. 
4. We must also remember that even though we can come to God in our time of need, we must never forget to come to Him in all circumstances, good or bad. 

So when you come to the church house, remember Who is supposed to be the focus... God in the name of Jesus and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen?
