Have you ever noticed this statement in the Bibleāāa God who hides Himselfā? Many Christians have never realized that Godās Word contains such an expression, but Isaiah expresses this thought most emphatically (Isa. 45:15). We may know God as the almighty One, as the righteous One, as One full of grace and compassion; but as the One who hides Himself, He may be unknown to us. āOur personalities are diametrically opposed to Godās personality. He likes concealment, we like display; He does not crave outward manifestations, we cannot be content without them. This divine disposition constitutes a great trial and test to us⦠I long that Godās children might realize the hidden nature of His working. Do not think that only mighty influences, great visions, and tremendous revelations are of Him. Godās surest work is done in the secret of our beings.ā
