For Such A Time As This

“Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’” — John 20:29

When God hides you, He is not rejecting you, He is honoring you. He is hiding you in His quiver until the right moment to reveal you.The hidden place is holy ground where our flesh is crucified and our character is forged. It’s where God prepares us for what He intends to reveal. Just as Esther was hidden before she was crowned, God conceals His chosen vessels until they are ready to walk in divine favor.

Favor isn’t about impressing others; it’s about being appointed by God at the right moment. Esther stepped into favor because she aligned with God’s perfect timing, not her own agenda. What looked like delay was divine positioning.

Remember:
Darkness is not your burial ground; it is the soil of your becoming. Seeds don’t make noise when they rise, they simply break through.
Our delays are not denials; they are the seasons where God grows us in faith, patience, and trust.

So believe without seeing, for the One who hides you plans to reveal you. Trust His process, knowing that your quiet obedience today will yield a harvest of favor tomorrow.

Father, thank You for the hidden seasons where You prepare us for greater things. Help us trust Your timing, even when we feel unseen or overlooked. Remind us that in the darkness, You are nurturing us to rise in faith and favor. May we believe without seeing, knowing You are faithful to complete the work You’ve begun in us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
