Our Desert Closet
"And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the desert until he appeared publicly to Israel." (Luke 1:80)
John the Baptist followed the pattern of all spiritual giants like Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Paul and, of course, the Lord Jesus. They all went for a time to the desert, far from the distractions that pull us from intimacy with God.
You and I can't leave our families or jobs and do as they did. But we can enter our closets each day -- I prefer the morning -- and spend an hour growing in intimacy with the lover of our souls.
