Matthew 6:6 (ESV)
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.
Robert A.Cook, president of The King's College in New
York, was speaking at the Moody Bible Institute some years ago. He was saying
that the day before, he had been at a gathering in Washington and had talked
with Vice President George Bush. And went on to say that he later spoke briefly
with President Ronald Reagan.
Then smiling, Cook said, "But that's nothing! Today,
I talked with God!"
If we really understood what an amazing privilege it is
that the Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth, Ruler of all, Perfect in
holiness and righteousness, the One and Only completely and totally just,
loving, merciful, omnipotent and omnipresent God -- calls us His children and
cares for our every little need, I think we would give Him a lot more time of
day.
We so often fail to give God the glory He deserves! When
we pray our next prayer, let's keep in mind precisely who it is we're talking
to!
Dear Lord, help us to always remember what a privilege we
have to come to You in prayer. In the
Name of Jesus, Amen.
