"And when you pray, don't be like the hypocrites," Matthew 6:5.
Yeah. OK. So how do they do it? They show off. They stand out in the worship houses. To pray. They stand on street corners. To pray. In the crowds to be noticed. To pray. That's how. Jesus said, Repent. The kingdom of God is not about people noticing each other's religiosity. It's about God. About God who sees the quiet things of the heart. About God who pays attention behind a closed door.
We visit with a brother or sister today sharing in the new covenant of peace. And together we give thanks to God for hearing us especially in quiet places.
