You’ll find this all through the Scriptures in the lives of God’s hidden servants: God hid Joseph in prison before he came to the palace. He hid Moses in the desert for a third of his life before he led the people out of Egypt. God hid David in the mountains, running in and out of caves from Saul before he was recognized as king.
In the New Testament, God hid Paul for three years in Arabia after his conversion, before he became a missionary. And, God hides Elijah at Cherith before his great life contribution at Carmel.
Don’t count it a strange thing if God hides you. Here’s the principle: When God chooses to hide you for a time, He is preparing you for a greater purpose.
