“All whom God uses greatly
are first hidden in the secret of His presence, away from the pride of man. It
is there our vision clears. It is there the silt drops from the current of our
life and our faith begins to grasp His arm.
Abraham waited for the birth
of Isaac.
Moses didn’t lead the Exodus
until he was eighty.
Elijah waited beside the
brook.
Noah waited 120 years for
rain.
Paul was hidden away for
three years in Arabia.
God is working while His
people are waiting, waiting, waiting.
That’s what’s happening. For
the present time, nothing. For the future, everything!” Joseph: A
Man of Integrity and Forgiveness, by Charles Swindoll
Don’t you love this
encouragement from Charles Swindoll? What a beautiful thought that as we wait and wait and wait in the secret place of His presence,
our faith begins to grasp the arm of God!
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1
