Gracious Ascent
"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16 NKJV) As holy as the hill of the Lord and as descent in righteousness as the deeds of every expected ascent to His presence, there is always room for mercy. If the connection between heaven and earth is feasible only by merit, who can retain access to the throne of God. Even after redemption and beside mercy, merit withdraws the boldness to seek the Lord in times of weakness and spiritual lethargy. However, weaknesses are made strong with gracious ascent for those who wait upon the Lord.
