Hidden for a Purpose

To spend resources of time and expenses for periods of quietness with God seems a great waste to many Christians today unless they are able to see that God sometimes wants His children to be hidden for a Purpose.


Remember Moses in Midian...
David with the sheep...
Jesus in the wilderness
Paul in Arabia...
John on the island of Patmos...


Meditation:


Isiah 43:1-7


"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you... When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned..."


Luke 5:15-16


"...crowds of people came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed."


Philippians 3:10


"I want to know Christ and the power of His ressurection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death..."


2 Corinthians 3:18


"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
