A Word About Life and Things
Hidden
|
When we go through trials and tribulations we wonder
if God is still for us. When going through these
things God is hiding us. When Joseph was in jail,
though God told him that he would be a ruler, he was
hidden for 13 years before he became the prime
mister of Egypt. David was anointed to be a King.
But after the anointing, he went back to the job of
a shepherd. After his killing of Goliath, he went
into hiding from King Saul for 13 years. Even Jesus
was hidden. When healing some people He said to not
tell anyone. The Priests did not know who He was. He
said His time had not yet come.
Many times we feel forsaken by God. We do not hear his voice and we wonder if He is still there. God has not forsaken us. He is hiding us and He is still there even when we do not feel His presence. He is taking us through a time of testing. He will never forsake us. He is leading us on a different path. He is getting us ready for promotion. Promotion only comes from God. Man cannot promote us, only God can do that. He gives us new talents and new ministries. He will bless us, in the new way that we are going. We are hidden for a while, then God promotes us into what He has for us. ––––––––––––––––––––––––– New King James Version Psalms 51:6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
