Matthew 6:6 But you, when you pray, enter into your room and shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret. And your Father seeing in secret will repay you in the open.
In a land where water is scarce and the heat becomes unbearable, there is nothing like the sound of gentle rain falling, the fresh rain fragrances from the earth being part of the pleasures of life. The rain has been drizzling on and off throughout the night, not heavy but constant, bringing much relief to the lands.
When we have thunderstorms and torrents of rain, it washes all away, much noise, lots of sensation, but little value to the land. In the same way we need to have the Holy Spirit rain on us, we all have had the thunderstorm of the Spirit, but it is far more beneficial to have the gentle drizzle of Holy Spirit in our lives and on our lives. Sometimes it is even the same in worship, we all may like the stirring sermon, and wonderful music, great company, but it is in the secret prayer life that we experience the gentle drizzle of God’s love for us. It is in the secret prayer life, hidden away on our own that we come alone into the presence of God, and we are able to allow His love to minister to us.
Be encouraged today to seek the secret prayer life.
David
Point to ponder: In prayer we are alone with God.
Question to consider: Do you seek God in prayer?
