PURE GOLD

 

📖SEE, I HAVE REFINED YOU, THROUGH NOT AS SILVER; I HAVE TESTED YOU IN THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION. Isaiah 48:10

🫐As on date, this  verse reminds us of the people who are walking through fires of griefs, loneliness,  depressions, anxieties.

🫐That when silver is being refined, it's put in the fire. And that fire burns away the impurities and flaws.But the silver doesn't come out of the fire until the exact right moment.

🫐As each of us walk through different fires in lives, sometimes, it seems as if those fires are meant to consume us, to destroy us.

🫐But that fire we are walking in is, GOD takes it and uses it to refine us.

🫐Did we know JESUS draws near to those who’re suffering? When we are, going through a crisis; HE is near, always.

📖 AND HE  SHALL SIT AS A  REFINER AND PURIFIER OF SILVER:... AND PURGE THEM AS GOLD AND SILVER, THAT THEY MAY OFFER UNTO THE LORD....*Mal 3:3

🫐An old story goes: There were some passers-by watching the refiner sitting by his pot of gold hanging over the fire. They wondered how much heat the gold could endure without being destroyed, and so they asked the refiner. He responded,

•“See how I sit by the fire?”.

•“Yes, of course, we see you.”

•“Well, see how I bend over the pot, looking into it?”

•“Yes, but how do you know how much heat that will allow the refining, without destroying the gold?”

•“I’ll know, when I see my own reflection.”....

🫐This describes the LORD as a REFINER OF GOLD. When gold is refined, the ore is placed in a large melting pot, then heated. The REFINER watches the pot closely, turning up the heat until the ore is completely melted. 

🫐When the heat is highest, the REFINER is the closest, leaning over to skim off the dross, until he can see his face reflected in the surface of the melted gold.

🫐Remember, when we suffer, GOD is not ignoring us. HE is the Refiner who is bending close, skimming off the impurities from our hearts and minds. 

🫐So,don’t worry. GOD knows the perfect temperature necessary to purify us until HE sees HIS reflection, in our lives.

🫐Today, put GOD First and HE will always be the ONE to Love and Protect us and Save us from noisome pestilence, we are facing nowadays

🫐Don't forget.. Listen to GOD with a broken heart. HE is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the FATHER who wipes away our tears.” ...

🫐All that is required, is our FAITH. Truly, GOD does nothing without purpose and reason..To make us look more like HIM.

🫐Every morning we get a chance..to change..Our past is  past.Leave it there.Get on with God.. ‌...TODAY, PEOPLE ASKED HOW YOU ARE ABLE TO STAY SO STRONG. MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS!
