Good morning! I hope you had a great weekend.
Psalm 66:10 (NASB)
For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined.
We each go through times in our life where the heat of our circumstances is almost unbearable. We cry out to God for relief and yet we find the heat remains. It is in these times that we may even questions God's love for us. Why would he let me go through so much challenge?
What we later realize is that we were in the midst of God's refining process. God is transforming our lives into a thing of beauty that brings about His glory. Unfortunately the only way we purify anything in this world is by heating it up. We purify water by boiling it. We purify metal by melting it down and skimming the impurities. Heat is the mechanism of purification. As the heat is applied to our lives, the hidden darkness within us gets revealed as it surfaces. Once visible, God forces us to deal with that darkness and our purity increases.
Today you may find yourself in the crucible of refinement. Remember that God is purifying your life and that with each passing day you are becoming more radiant to the world around you.
Until next Monday, may God's richest blessings be yours this week.
Carl
