Therefore if you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, sharing in His resurrection from the dead], keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]. ³ For you died [to this world], and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, who is our life, ^[a]appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Colossians 3:1-4

Hidden seasons are sacred seasons. Being hidden with Christ means you will go through times when you feel like your whole life is under construction. Often, we feel buried, but we must remember that hidden seasons produce strengths that unveiling seasons cannot. Attributes like character, authority, wisdom, boldness, vision, morality, and special talents are not developed while everyone is watching. I’m sure we can all agree on how grateful we are for the small circle of people who have played key roles in these seasons of our lives, because the building process is not always beautiful but often chaotic. 

When you squeeze an orange, what do you get? Orange juice. When you squeeze a grape, what do you get? Grape juice. When life, tests, and relationships squeeze you, what do they extract? Frustration, mediocrity, and weakness, or focus, courage, and strength? Hidden seasons are where the pressing and pruning occur in our lives. If you’re experiencing the loving pressing and pruning of the Lord, I’ve got great news for you, friend. You haven’t been BURIED; you’ve been HIDDEN! Hidden seasons are sacred because that’s where lasting growth is cultivated. STAY HIDDEN!!!

At the second coming of Christ, there will be a general assembling of all the redeemed; and those whose life is now hid with Christ, shall then appear with him in his glory. Do we look for such happiness, and should we not set our affections upon that world, and live above this? Bible Hub
