51 “You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold.”

 Exodus 25:17

 There is no better place of refuge than to find ourselves at the mercy seat of God. It is a place of pure gold and a place where all our requests can be met. When we find ourselves surrounded by hurt and the dark night of depression folds in on us, we can find sure relief with our glorious God. It is a place of great value, top value for it is made of pure gold.

“Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.”

 Hebrews 4:16

 God invites us to draw near with our needs and wants and tells us we can find a refuge in Him. The Lord is so kind and provides for us when we address Him at the seat of mercy. It does not matter what kind of circumstances we may be facing in our lives, the mercy seat is always available, morning and night. Our God never sleeps, nor is remiss, but we have full access to the throne of grace because of the love of our Saviour Jesus. He will never turn us away or make us feel guilty about taking His time. He is the omniscient and omnipotent God and can deal with all our situations no matter how complex.

 Let us make full use of this wonderful resource God has provided for us and take Him at His word and come to Him.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28
