Have you ever had this experience? A preacher steps on the platform and begins to speak a message so powerful you sense you are listening to someone who has just been in the Presence of God. There is an unmistakable power that emanates from the messenger who has spent time alone in that Secret Place.
Moses, who authored one of everyone’s favorite psalms, says “He that dwells in the SECRET PLACE of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Ps. 91:1). Jesus knew the importance of this intimate time and place with His Father: “So when you pray, go into your room…shut your door and pray to your Father who is in the SECRET PLACE; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly (Matthew 6:6).
Do you have a Secret Place where you sit in the Presence of God, where you seek Him, desiring to know Him more perfectly?
It is a Secret Place because it is hidden from the eyes of others. It is a Secret Place because it takes place in your inner man. It is the secret place of your heart where deposits are made into your heavenly account—away from the arena of public recognition and reputation. In the Secret Place, you will know Jesus in whom are “HIDDEN all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3).
Does your public persona reflect the character of one who spends much time in his private Secret Place?
