Therefore, brethren,
having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living
way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh.
Hebrews 10:19-20
Our generation lacks a sense of wonder and reverence toward God.
We want to bring God down to our level, to the commonplace. He is God! Though
we have direct access to Him as His children, we ought never to forget that
this access was purchased with the precious blood of His only Son. No one who
truly understands this ever enters God’s presence without a sense of holy awe.
No one who comprehends the incredible price paid at Calvary ever takes his
relationship with God for granted.
We will never truly understand God and the way He relates to us
unless we first comprehend a true sense of His holiness and His demand for
holiness among His people. If we are in God’s presence, we are on holy ground!
We must never act as if it were God’s purpose to make us successful. It would
be preposterous for us to become impatient when God does not answer our prayers
when and how we think He should! He is God, we are not!
As you meditate on the price Jesus paid to give you access to
the Father, you will come to treasure your prayer times with Him. Worship will
become a privilege you seize with gratitude. Scripture will be dear to you as
you strive to be holy in all that you do (2 Cor. 7:1; 1 Pet. 1:15).
If you have lost your wonder at the incredible gift of salvation
that has been given to you, you need to revisit the cross and witness your
Savior suffering for you. How priceless God’s gift of salvation is!
