Scripture: Matthew 6:6
Reflection:
Jesus invites us into a quiet, hidden life with God. In a world that celebrates what is public, visible, and praised, the Lord calls us to something deeper—secret devotion. He reminds us that the Father sees what no one else sees. He notices the whispered prayers, the tears shed alone, the moments of surrender when no one is watching.
Faith is not built primarily in the spotlight. It is formed in stillness, in honest conversation with God, in the unseen obedience of the heart. The hidden place is where pride is stripped away, and authenticity grows. It is where we are not performing, but simply being known and loved.
For those who serve others—whether in ministry, leadership, or daily life—it is easy to give out without first receiving. Yet secret devotion fills the soul. The strength to lead, care, and endure comes from the quiet presence of God. When you meet with Him in secret, He shapes your character, renews your strength, and anchors your identity beyond performance or approval.
Challenge:
Set aside five uninterrupted minutes today. Go somewhere private. Turn off distractions. Speak honestly with God. Listen in silence. Let this be the beginning of a deeper, hidden life with Him.
Prayer:
Lord, draw me into the secret place with You. Form my heart when no one else is watching. Teach me to love Your presence more than recognition. Grow my faith in the hidden moments of life. Amen
