Elijah was instructed to "hide" himself at the Brook Cherith (1 Kings 17:3). The word ‘hide’ can also be translated as “secret place.” We see this in Psalm 31:20 where the writer cries out, “You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence….” While Elijah was in Cherith, he was in the precise location where he needed to be. All external influences that potentially could distract from intimacy with God had been removed. Unencumbered, Elijah could pursue the presence of God which would result in him being empowered with inner strength by the Spirit of God so He would then be ready to move forward and prosper in the next season of his life and fulfill his destiny. God often hides us in order to prepare us for His purposes! Learn more about Glenn Bleakney at AwakeNations.org and KingdomCommunity.Global and KingdomCommunity.tv
