The Secret Place

We are in the middle of an incredible revival at our home church.  Last night's word was timely and has reminded me about the importance of the secret place.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1

What a powerful verse!  Could there be a better place to abide than under the shadow of God?  Definitely not!  What would happen if we grasped the idea that God wants to have time with us when no one is looking?  What if we had a daily conversation with him in a room with the door closed? 

God gave me a revelation several years ago that I have shared with my youth groups.  We think prayer is one sided but God not only listens.....He speaks!!  Some of my favorite times have been when I have kept my mouth closed and just listened to the voice of God.  I am thankful that our Evangelist reminded us about the importance of time spent alone with God.

When we seek him in secret, we are rewarded openly.  I have a renewed desire to get alone with God.  The comment was made last night that "you have not worshipped Him until you have worshipped in the secret place".  What a concept!!  No one around to impress.  No one around to even think about. No distractions.  Just you and God.

Find a secret place and make it a priority to be alone with Him.  Then watch as your world is flipped upside down.
