A Secret Place

I unashamedly admit it. I’m a diehard fan of The Waltons.

This morning a frequently visited spot on the Waltons property surfaced in my memory. I remembered the tree house. Though visible to all, it was a secret place. When young, Jim Bob and Elizabeth often climbed the wooden ladder; they wanted to be alone. In reality, we all need a secret place.

We meet God there. He is in secret.

“Whenever you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by people. I assure you: They’ve got their reward!  But when you pray, go into your private room, shut your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. When you pray, don’t babble like the idolaters, since they imagine they’ll be heard for their many words. Don’t be like them, because your Father knows the things you need before you ask Him.

‘Therefore, you should pray like this:

Our Father in heaven,
Your name be honored as holy.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not bring us into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
[For Yours is the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever. Amen.](Matthew 6:5-13 HCSB).”
