In this moment

I was sitting in the car as my daughter had to run into the house for a minute.  As I sat there, I wondered what can I do in this moment?

Come before God.

So I did, with prayer and thanksgiving.  The experience stood out to me.  Or maybe I should be more accurate..... the reality that I, sinner that I am, can come before the Almighty God startled me in a delightful way.  What? Wow!  I have that privilege. I can "approach God's throne of grace with confidence" (Hebrews 4:16).  We can.  You can.  All because Jesus has made a way.

Hebrews 10:19-22
"Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, His body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water."

God is never far from us.  All we need to do is draw near.  I encourage you to do it, even when all you have is this moment.
