Verse of the day: I will make the third pass by the fire, and purify it as silver is purified, and I will test it as gold is tested; she will invoke my name and I will hear it; I will say, they are my people, and they will say, The Lord is my God (Zechariah 13. 9).
Grace transforms us into a precious metal, and as a necessary consequence comes the fire and the furnace of affliction. Do we start our spiritual life like this? We want to be seen as unworthy, to enjoy rest, like the stones of the countryside, the worst thing for us would be to choose the plate of lentils, like Sau, and reject our part of the alliance of grace. Lord God, we will be cast joyfully into the furnace of affliction, rather than being cast out of your presence.
- Fire only purifies metal.
- Does not destroy it.
- We’ll go through the fire and we won’t leave it there.
- The Lord sees His people as money; Therefore.
- He suffers by purifying his foam.
- If we are wise.
- We will gladly receive the purification process and will not reject it.
- Our prayer will be to have the milkman removed and not removed from the crucible.
Oh Lord, you’re really testing us!We are ready to be softened by the intensity of the flames, this is your way and surely it is the best, he supports us in the test and completes the process of our purification and we will be yours forever.
