Secret Place

 

    You find your secret place with God.  Every good secret has something to do with Him.  He is the key to the secrets of your life.  All you have to do is dig a little.  You will find the answers in your Bible.  You are not expected to understand everything, but seek wisdom and closeness to God.  You will find what you need.

    Your secret place is where you spend time digging into the Bible, prayer, meditation, and stillness.  It is the place that enriches your life.  If you started studying the Bible today, what do you think you would get out of it?  What is happening in your life that drives you to spend time with God?  Motivation matters, but not as much as actually seeking God.

    Jesus is the light that gives your space and yourself warmth, direction, and clarity in life.  The only way it will work is if see him clearly.  You do that by reading the Gospels where you can hear his voice.  It is where you will find your hope for eternity.  

    After spending time with God you should be motivated to follow Jesus.  It can bring joy to your life unlike anything else.  It is not an easy journey.  Following Jesus will make life harder in many ways, but the rewards outweigh the difficulties.  It brings rewards in life, not just eternal life.  He puts people that make life better in your path.  

    When you go to your secret place, go to seek guidance from the Holy Spirit.  He will direct your study.  He will whisper holy secrets into your heart.  He will guide your prayers and who to seek out that may need something.  This is where you go when you fast to find what your soul really needs.  

    How you approach your secret place will make the difference in how you experience your journey with Jesus each day.  Living life with Jesus instead of for Jesus makes all the difference in your heart and mind.  Every day is a new day to start fresh.  Start it in your secret place, your sanctuary.
