“Tony Stewart drove his No. 20 Home Depot Chevrolet to a solid second-place finish in Sunday’s AMD at The Glen NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International.”

 

“The top-10 effort – Stewart’s 12th of the season – bumped the two-time and reigning Nextel Cup champion up two spots in the series point standings.

“We went up to seventh, so that’s somewhat encouraging,” said Stewart, who was out of the top-10 in points just three races ago. “Any time you can move up in the points, it’s a good thing. This is a race we’ve looked forward to. We felt like if we had a day like we did today, then we could gain points and hopefully help ourselves out. It worked according to plan.”

Hiddenness is an essential quality of the spiritual life. Solitude, silence, quiet, ordinary tasks, being with people without great agendas, sleeping, eating, working, playing — all of that without being different from others, that is the life that Jesus lived and the life he asks us to live. It is in hiddenness that we, like Jesus, can increase “in wisdom, in stature, and in favour with God and with people” (Luke 2:51). It is in hiddenness that we can find a true intimacy with God and a true love for people.

Even during his active ministry, Jesus continued to return to hidden places to be with God alone. If we don’t have a hidden life with God, our public life for God cannot bear fruit.
