THE HIDDEN FURNACE: WHERE GOD MAKES REVIVALISTS (3)
Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional
Date: Friday, 16 May 2025
Focus: Hidden, But Not Wasted
Message:
In hidden places, God prepares powerful people. This devotional series is for those in quiet, unseen seasons—where God is shaping them with fire. You may feel forgotten, but you’re in the furnace where revivalists are made.
đź“– Key Verse:
Exodus 3:1 – “Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law… and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness…”
Devotional:
Moses didn’t waste 40 years in Midian—he was being formed. When God hides you, it feels like delay. But in Heaven, it’s development. Every quiet prayer… Every unnoticed act of obedience… Every moment in the wilderness… It all counts. Nothing in God’s presence is ever wasted. Moses had to unlearn Egypt before he could lead Israel. He had to learn how to shepherd sheep before he could shepherd people. And that took time—not in public, but in obscurity.
đź“– Scripture Reading:
- Isaiah 49:2 – “He made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.”
- Psalm 139:15 – “…I was woven together in the secret place.”
đź’§ Refreshing for the Day:
Beloved, your hidden season may feel dry, repetitive, and unnoticed—but God is working. He is refining your character, stretching your endurance, and molding your heart. So, don’t rush what God is using to ready you. Hiddenness doesn’t mean forgotten. Delayed doesn’t mean denied. Silence doesn’t mean absence. You’re being shaped where no one sees, for what no one can stop. God wastes nothing. Even in the quiet, He is crafting you for purpose. Every desert day is doing something deep. Stay Refreshed!
✨ Note This:
Hidden seasons may feel empty—but they’re full of divine preparation.
🛡️ Responsibility:
Write down the top 3 “hidden” seasons or struggles you’ve faced. And ask God to show you what He was building through each one.
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, thank You that nothing is wasted in You. Even when I feel buried, You are planting me. Help me trust the work You’re doing beneath the surface. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
🔥 Prophetic Declaration:
I may be hidden—but I’m not forgotten! God is using every moment to shape a revivalist in me. This season is not wasted—it is making me unstoppable! Alleluia!
đź“– Bible Texts:
Exodus 2:15; 3:1, Isaiah 49:2, Psalm 139:15
