Remember the game, hide and seek? Nothing is more precious than a parent looking for a toddler that is hiding in plain sight simply because the child closes his or her eyelids. Something cannot be hidden when it is in plain sight. In I Peter 5:10, “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” These incredible traits are not hidden, but in plain sight! Through this year’s conference, your students will understand how the hidden is made plain. Shame is given away to RESTORATION. Doubt is replaced by CONFIRMATION. Human weakness is transformed into His STRENGTH. Insecurity is now overshadowed by CONFIDENCE.

Just as God walked through the garden in Genesis 3 calling those He loves, He still calls you and I today. He calls us out of hiding to be hidden in Christ. There is no hide and seek game being played in the will of God, the power of God, or walking in His presence. Nothing would thrill us more than for you and your group to join us this winter for the Strength to Stand Student Conference. It is time for us to understand that which is hidden is in plain sight!
