Bobby G. Williams, Jr., Pastor, 478-982-1134. Secret Prayer When Jesus advised his disciples to pray in the confines and secrecy of their rooms, He was giving this advice as part of a broader criticism of public displays of piety. The first verse of the sixth chapter of Matthew tells us to “Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 6.1) We probably cannot rid ourselves of all public displays of religion, unless we were to stop going to church and refrained from praying with others alto gether. And, it is not the public nature of prayer that Jesus is railing against here so much as it is the puffed up, hypocritical, almost boasting attitude of the person who prays to make a show of it. In the Bible, Jesus frequently criticizes those, like the Pharisees, who make a pretentious show of their faith. In those days, this was likely to mean praying loudly in the synagogues, advertising one’s charity, or wearing broad phylacteries boxes (strapped around one’s head or arm and containing quotes form scripture). Even today, one does not have to look hard to find the modern counterpart to these actions. Are there aspects of our faith which are intended for others to see? If so, we have our reward already. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. R.S.V.
