The Hidden Things
"Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known."
— Jeremiah 33:3
I was listening to a message entitled Your Vision Is Your Victory when the speaker mentioned the verse above. He said that the “great and hidden things” Jesus promises to reveal are the visions He has prepared uniquely for each of us. These visions are hidden from the world but given personally to us.
Later, as I reflected on the message, my thoughts turned to the heroes of faith and the journeys they walked to fulfill the hidden things God revealed to them. Do you remember Noah? He built the ark that carried the seed of humanity. God met Noah in the Spirit and gave him precise instructions—how to build the ark, which materials to use, and who to bring inside once it was finished.
As far as we know, Noah had never built a boat before. Yet God called him to create something that had been hidden until the appointed time. I imagine Noah must have faced doubts and endured criticism from those around him. But he trusted the vision God had given him and continually returned to God’s instructions to stay aligned with the plan.
The visions God gives us often come with challenges and rarely make sense from a human perspective. The Lord told Noah to build a boat because it would rain for forty days and forty nights—yet, up to that point, it had never rained on the earth. Still, Noah obeyed, and through his obedience, humanity was preserved.
Each of us carries hidden secrets—God-given assignments meant to be fulfilled in the earth. We are not called to figure out every detail or fully understand the plan; we are called to follow His instructions step by step. The world may never understand the vision God has entrusted to you, because it was not given to them. But as you walk with Him in obedience, impossible doors will open, and you will witness His vision come to life before your very eyes.
When you call to Him in the secret place, He will reveal to you the great and hidden things He has prepared.
Key Takeaways
God shares His secrets with you.
Do not be discouraged by those who don’t understand your vision.
The vision is between you and God, giving you a personal, intimate relationship with Him. Don’t miss it!
