  Speaker 1: It it's time right now for today's word. Hidden Seasons,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Hidden Seasons, Exodus two and three says, But when she
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: for him and coated it with tar and pitch. You know,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: some of the hardest seasons in life are not seasons
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of struggle.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: They are seasons of being overlooked.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Times when you know God has placed gifts inside of you,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: dreams in your hearts, and purpose on your life.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Yet it seems like no one notices.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Others are advancing, others are being recognized, others are being
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: celebrated or promoted, while you remain in the background, quiet, unseen.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Hidden.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Moses knew something about hidden seasons before.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: He even knew his own story.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: When he was born, Pharaoh had ordered Hebrew baby boys to.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Be killed to protect them. His mother hid him for bus.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Moses lived in obscurity, no applause, no recognition, no indication
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: that he would one day lead a nation out of bundage.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Yet even in hiding, God's hand was on his life.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: See that's important to remember.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Hidden does not mean for godden come on Jesus head
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and does not mean for godden. Sometimes God intentionally allows
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: seasons where you are unseen because he's developing something in
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you before revealing something through you.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Come on, Jesus.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Hidden seasons are often preparation seasons. God may be building
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: your character. He may be strengthening your faith, increasing your patience,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: or teaching you to.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Trust Him when there is no outward reward.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Anyone can stay faithful when they are praised. The real
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: test comes when you continue to serve, when you continue
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to give, when you continue to pray, when you can
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: continued to walk with integrity and character even when no
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: one notices. Can you worship without recognition? Can you stay
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: committed without applause? Can you trust God's time? And when
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: your old timeline feels delayed, see those hidden places become
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: holy places because God is shaping you there.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: The encouraging news is this.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: There came a day when Moses could no longer remain hidding.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: God moved in such.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: A way that the very household connected to Pharaoh discovered him.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: The child marked for destruction was brought into influence. The
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: one hidden in a basket became the one who delivered
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the nation, And the same God who brought Moses out
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of hiding knows exactly when to bring you forward when
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: your season of preparation is complete. God knows how to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: open doors you could never force open. He knows how
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to connect you with the right people, position you in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the right place, and cause your gifts to make.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Room for you.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: What here is a dame for your life will not
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: pass you by. So don't you dare become discouraged in
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: hidden seasons. You stay faithful in the ordinary. You keep
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: showing up with excellence, keep trusting God, even when you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: don't understand. Your hidden season is not punishment, It may
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: be preparation. At the point of time, the right time,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: God will make sure you are seen. Not for your glory, though,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: but for His purpose. Oh Father, God, thank you that
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: even in seasons when we feel over look, when we
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: feel unseen, or when we feel forgotten, your hand remains
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: on our lives. Thank You for using hidden season to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: prepare us, to strengthen us, and to shape our character.
