Key Points:
• Some of the best things God does are hidden on purpose. Just like the best bread or hidden gems in life, God often works beneath the surface. What’s unseen isn’t absent—it’s intentional.
• God’s promises may be hidden, but they are still valid. Mary kept God’s word in her heart, yet Elizabeth—through the Holy Spirit—validated it. Visibility is not the measure of truth; God’s authority is.
• Hidden does not mean inactive—faith stays committed. Mary “hurried” in obedience, prioritizing God’s calling over comfort, reputation, or logic. Commitment means continuing to water what looks dormant.
• God’s calling often won’t make sense to others (or to you). Faith requires obedience before clarity. Like Mary, Abraham, Noah, and Jesus, the promise may look impossible—but commitment precedes fulfillment.
• What is hidden will eventually be honored by God and the right people. Elizabeth honored Mary by giving her time, encouragement, and affirmation. God brings “Elizabeths” into our lives to confirm, encourage, and honor what He’s doing—even before it’s visible.
