DAY 6 OF 21

Embrace the Hidden Place

A key to thriving in the process is to embrace being hidden. Being hidden doesn‘t mean we‘re isolated from society or withholding our lives from others until we are perfectly polished. But it does mean that we are not seeking a visible platform for whatever we‘re called to do. It means we are not forcing open any doors that God has not opened. We are waiting for God to put us in front of others at the right time. You have to learn to love the cave. If you love the spotlight more than the secret place, you‘re in trouble, because it means you care more about pleasing people than pleasing God. Learn to love when you don‘t get the credit. Learn to love when you get passed over.

About this Plan

Rooted

As Christians seek out their God-given purpose, it is natural to expect God to develop the skills and abilities given to believers that would allow them to go into the world and make an impact for the Kingdom. However, the focus is often spent on the vision God gave his Church rather than realizing God's main desire is to develop His children. If Christians want to change the world and "bear fruit" that makes an impact on the world, they must first make roots that last. Using the life of David, Liebscher gives readers three areas to dig in to start building those lasting roots--prayer, service, and community.
