But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Why would we avoid intimacy with our Creator? The more time we spend privately praying, the more we are aware of God at work in us and our world, the more we desire to share the Son with the world, the more joy and contentment we have.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
John 13:34, ESV

But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord.
Zephaniah 2:3, ESV
God is returning in judgment. Sooner than we may think.
Be humble and realize your need for His salvation through Christ’s work and from breaking His commands, and you will escape His wrath.
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Joshua 1:8, ESV
Is the Bible so much a part of your life that you can not seem to help but think and talk about it and its Author throughout the day and into the night?
“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.

Our faithful Lord empowers us day by day through His Holy Spirit as we take His gospel to our fallen world.
