Jesus said when you pray, go into your closet and shut the door. He expects His disciples to often spend time alone with the Father, as He did. David
knew this place. He called it the “Secret Place” – he knew that when you dwell there, you will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. This is so necessary in our daily life! This is how we live in intimacy with the Father. This is where His glory overshadows you, and where there is fullness of joy. This is where your spirit-man comes into union with His Spirit. This is how you stay protected, and the enemy cannot touch you. This is where He shows you what is to come, where He makes you aware of upcoming opportunities or even danger. You get to know His voice and His ways, He fills you and saturates you with His presence, so you have something to give, and He transforms you into what He wants you to be. You will become what you behold the most – so make it a priority to spend time with your Father!
