Privilege of being a child of God

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
- Hebrews 4:16

It is said that during his short presidency, the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy allowed his children to enter his official office at any time. He gave them this privilege because they were his children. In fact, there’s a well-known photo of his son, John Jr., playing under the desk while the president worked.

We, as children of God, are even more privileged, we can enter the presence of our Heavenly Father at any moment! The King of kings and Lord of lords is always attentive to the prayers and cries of His children. He delights to hear the voices of His sons and daughters. Are you taking advantage of this great privilege?

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
- Psalm 34:15

In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
- Ephesians 3:12

Draw near to your Heavenly Father today! Call out to Him, praise Him with all your heart, and present your requests before Him. Come with confidence, for God loves you more than you can imagine. Do not take lightly your position as His beloved child, live each day close to the Father who loves you deeply and enjoys your company. He is always attentive, with open arms.

Where to seek advice

I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another.
- Romans 15:14

Paul shows us the importance of the Christian community and its great power to counsel one another. The apostle is confident that the brothers and sisters possess enough wisdom to advise each other so that they may live a good life before God.

The ability to counsel someone lies in the level of maturity one has, and to find that in people it is necessary to look for the expression of goodness and knowledge of the Scriptures.

Know where to seek your advice in times of need! Flee from those who are full of evil and know nothing about what is right. Instead, surround yourself with people who are full of goodness and fully instructed in the faith in Christ Jesus, for these are truly wise people.

Seek instruction for eternal life in the Word, and become able yourself to give good advice to those around you. Recognize the need to be around people who can guide you in the best path, and the importance of sharing your experiences with wiser people. In this way, we can be instruments of God!
