I’m Doug Apple...and my heart is on fire. (Luke 24:32)

Do this one thing and your life will be radically changed.

I call it The Matthew 6:6 Principle.

In short it says, “Go into your room. Shut your door. Pray to your Father.”

Or I word it this say, “Get alone. Shut out the distractions. Talk to God.”

When we do that, Jesus said the Father will reward us.

I want that, don’t you?

And the great thing is, it doesn’t say we have to be great at it. It doesn’t say we even have to be good or decent at it. It just says we have to do it.

Get alone. Shut out the distractions. Talk to God.

Matthew 6:6 says, “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”

“Okay, Doug, how does this reward thing work, because I did this the other day and nothing happened.”

Jesus said the Kingdom of God is like a seed. Over and over Jesus compared Kingdom things to organic things.

God works in organic ways. God works in seedtime and harvest, sowing and reaping, things happening out of sight, underground, over time.

This is where faith and trust come in. Seeking God isn’t like searching Google, where you hit enter and you have your answer.

Seeking God is more like planting a seed.

If you want to enjoy some delicious tomatoes later in the year, you plant a bunch of tomato seeds earlier in the year.

Hebrews 11:6 says that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

It doesn’t say we have to seek Him perfectly, or even righteously. We just have to seek Him diligently. I can do that!

James 4:8 says draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

Psalm 100 verse 4 says “…enter His gates with thanksgiving…”. I can do that!

Are you wanting a better life, a more fulfilling life, a new adventure?

Do you and your family have needs that just seem out of reach or even impossible to meet?

Are you trying to figure out what to do in this next season of your life?

Then here is my advice. Take hold of The Matthew 6:6 Principle and put it into practice daily, and it’s so simple.

Go into your room. Shut your door. Pray to your Father.

Or as I say it, “Get alone. Shut out the distractions. Talk to God.”

And when we do that, Jesus has offered us this guarantee.

Our Father in heaven will reward us.

May God bless you today.

I’m Doug Apple.
