His Office Is
Open!
"Nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:
39
The Resolute desk has been used by many American
Presidents in the Oval Office of the White House. It was
a gift in 1880 from the United Kingdom and was made
from the timbers of the HMS Resolute.
The most
iconic picture of John Kennedy’s
presidency shows the President’s small son,
John Jr., peaking out of the kneehole while
his father, the President, worked at the desk.
So, the leader of the free world allowed his
son to play at his feet,
beneath his desk,
while he conducted matters of state.
As amazing as that is, believers in Christ have an even
greater privilege. We are invited into the throne room of
God, at
any time and with boldness, to present our
prayers to our Heavenly Father.
The door to your Heavenly Father’s “office” is
open. He welcomes your presence and your
prayers—any time, for
any reason.
"Behold, what wondrous grace the
Father hath bestowed on sinners of a
mortal race, to call them sons of God!"
Isaac Watts
