Pondering Point

Abraham knows his place before God (“I am nothing but dust and ashes”); But this dust-and-ashes Abraham also seems to know that his place before God is secure. His bold approach with God indicates as much.

And The Lord, by entertaining Abraham’s proposal, honors this bold conversation. We too, though “nothing but dust and ashes,” can approach the throne of grace boldly and confidently, secure in knowing that Jesus (our High Priest) has gone ahead and paved the way for us. What do you want to be so bold as to approach God about? Do it.
