Psa. 27:5; 31:20

Today we, the believers in Christ, are God’s hidden ones, and the worldly people do not know us (1 John 3:1). However, when the Lord Jesus comes back, the hidden ones will become the manifested ones (Col. 3:3-4). Today is the time for us not to be manifested but to be hidden.

Satan’s plot is to possess God’s habitations, the local churches, for himself through the nations who conspire against God’s hidden ones, the believers in Christ (vv. 2-12).
