Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
In the Old Covenant the Law was all about God demanding from man, demanding he kept all the laws He gave them and that was because they didn't have a renewed spirit so they had to obey laws to protect them.
But in the New Covenant God's grace is all about God supplying what we need through Jesus, whether it's forgiveness of our sins, freedom from guilt or shame, for finances, for relationships, or whatever, it's all through Jesus.
When we are 'demand' minded we become stressed, we have to perform. We can feel so burdened. We have to do, do, do.
When we are 'supply' minded we choose to enter God's rest knowing Jesus has already done it all for us and made provision for everything we're going to need. Because of Jesus God is pleased with us and blesses us. It's already done, done, done. He will supply whatever we need spiritually, physically and emotionally because we can come to His throne of grace any time to obtain mercy and help us with whatever we need help with.
Sometimes I slip into the 'demand' mode of thinking - I must, I must do, I have to... But God has to bring me back constantly to His 'supply' mode of thinking. He has done, He has provided, and all He asks of me is to receive His supply in all areas of my life.
How about you? Let's ask the Lord to help us to let go of "God is demanding" thinking and receive His grace which is all about "God is supplying" thinking, and thank Him for it. 😊
