Over the last four or so years that I have
been writing I have become so accustomed to writing through life's
joys and life's pains. Sometimes though it is just inappropriate to
do so and that has left me with a loss for words over the last few
days. I had taken some time to attend to some personal issues but
even though I had the time to write, the words just wouldn't come.
Tonight is no different really but I
know I made a commitment to make this blog a part of my life and thus
I have to honour that decision. So are there times in our spiritual
lives when we need to keep things hidden or secret? Most definitely.
In Matthew 6 Jesus addresses the issues
of charitable deeds, giving and prayer and says that all of these
should be done in secret or without boasting as when we display these
openly we receive our reward from man, but we will miss the rewards
of God's approval and blessing. Therefore we should check our hearts
and our attitudes when give and when we spend time with God in prayer
and keep these things hidden in our secret place.
