In Matthew 6:6, we read: "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."
Prayer -- communion with our Heavenly Father -- is one of the sweetest privileges and joys of living for Jesus! How wonderful it is to know that His ear is always open to our cry! This little devotional thought spoke to my heart when I read it yesterday. I trust it will be a blessing and inspiration to you, also, as we prepare our hearts for God's Holy Day!
"When we truly live in 'the secret place', it becomes impossible for us to doubt God. We become more sure of Him than of anyone or anything else. If you will swing the door of your life fully open and 'pray to your Father who is in the secret place', every public thing in your life will be marked with the lasting imprint of the presence of God." Praise the Lord! What a blessed thought!
It makes me want to sing our benediction -- "Sweet peace, the gift of God's love."
