In the Secret... World

4.19.2011

Matthew 6:4 Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. NIV

There is a secret world – a world of the unseen. You won’t find it on the six o’clock news or on the cover of People. Newsweek doesn’t care about it nor does USA Today or the New York Times. If you look for it, you won’t find it; it isn’t visible. There are only two persons who know about it: the child and God.

The Secret World is the world where the believer communes with the Believed. The Secret World is a place where all the important stuff happens; it’s a world of quietness, gentleness, and yes, power. Governments cannot withstand it and haven’t been able to wipe it out (though they’ve tried, immensely.) It’s a place deeply rooted in the heart and no one has access without the permission of the loved; and usually, the only One invited is the Beloved.

The spouse can have a secret world where the other spouse cannot intrude. Both can have secret worlds where the common bond is only God.

Today, the Secret World is frustrating to many in this world, because it exists and thrives. It is the secret strength of the persecuted Church. It is the safe- haven of those oppressed. It is more valuable than all of the riches of both  heaven and earth because it is inhabited by the Owner of all – Who sees in secret.

Today, the Secret Place is the power to succeed because the Only One watching – Who sees in secret – is accomplishing His plans for a needy world. No flash, no gimmicks – just quiet unstoppable strength and secret irresistible force.

Father in Heaven,
You are the God who sees in secret for only You know the thoughts and intents of the heart. So often I pray, Go with me! Today, I simply ask to go with You wherever You lead in secret, that I may do in secret, and together we may be in secret; accomplishing Your Good in this dark and hurting world – through Christ, amen.
