My MOM ruled the "highest court" in my little-girl land! Her decisions were final--and I had better "hear ye, hear ye" as I stood, with fear and trembling, in HER Court! Perhaps you remember those days too--with a smile--for it didn't hurt us, by far! Discipline from firm, loving parents molded us into the people we are today...so hats off to the memory of Mama, judge of the Coletti court in MY home!
On December 1, 2000, all eyes of the world will be on the Supreme Court of the United States as a historical hearing takes place. We watch AND we pray for God's will to be done in the land that we love. BUT...aren't you glad YOU are not appearing there today? What would you say...what would you wear.....(well, only a woman would think of THAT!)
You can't go much HIGHER than THAT....or can you? YES! We, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, have access and a grand WELCOME into the HIGHEST Court in heaven and on earth. We need not approach the bench with fear and trembling...but with faith and confidence! We are WELCOME there--to worship, to make our petitions known, and to claim our defense through the Blood of Jesus Christ. We are justified, sanctified and made righteous through HIM...
THEREFORE....whatever your need is today, you can bring it to "the Bench" - to the One who sits supreme over all the land, to the One who bends an ear to hear your petition and to grant relief; to render a decision in YOUR best interest and in the interest of the everlasting Kingdom of God.
So, walk right in! Stand high, then bow low before the HIGHEST Court in the land. You are welcome here! Believe it--and have a great day!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1,2)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, thank You that I can come boldly into Your holy presence, knowing I stand in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, my Lord. I am justified through His Blood, and I can bring my petitions to the "bench" of the highest Court in heaven and earth. Thank You for hearing me today, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
