This calling not only positioned her to save her lineage , but it saved the King himself from assassins that were plotting his demise .

Do you feel hidden ? You may have to go through a season where you may have to hide your identity ( your God-given purpose ). This does not mean that you will always remain hidden but what it does mean is that God has an appointed time when He will showcase you .
We see this with Esther . When Esther was amongst the women chosen to be apart of King Xeres ' new wife competition , she was instructed by her cousin Mordecai not to disclose her identity . You see , Esther was a Jew ; she had been living with her cousin who raised her . Esther 2:7 tells us she had neither father nor mother .
So , not only is she a Jew in a foreign land , but she was also an orphan . Statistically , Esther , under the circumstances , would have been deemed not likely to succeed . I ' m sure society would have never chosen her to be queen . But , God had a plan . Hiding her identity not only protected Esther , but it positioned her . As the story progress , we know that Esther was chosen to be queen . This calling not only positioned her to save her lineage , but it saved the king himself from assassins that were plotting his demise .
Don ' t despise the overlookedhidden season . Being hidden is for your protection . The hidden place is for your grooming and your strength . God will position you to be a sleepless spy for the kingdom in some of the most unlikely places . Aren ' t you glad God is not like man ? He knows you are underestimated , but you are His secret weapon . Daughters of God , stay yielded to God , keep your heart and ear , to his lips . Stay obedient to his will ; do not rush the process . Your time of elevation will come in due
