GOD’S PURE WORD!
Psalm 12:6 – Devotional
Psalm 12:6
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.“
I have often heard the expression; “If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen!” The same is even more applicable to a refiner of silver. The refiner of silver sits in front of the refining fire to watch the intense heat burn away the impurities.
It is essential in the refining process for the silversmith to stay in front of the fire at all times without taking his eyes off the silver. If the silver were to be left in the intense heat for a moment too long the silver would be destroyed. The only way for the silversmith to know when the silver was fully refined was when he can see his own image reflected in it.
All too often we try to escape the fire of God’s refining oven rather than to allow Him to have control to determine when He is able to see His image reflected back. It is not easy for us to endure the heat of God’s refining fire, but the result is that we will become like Him.
As we begin 2024, may we be totally yielded to the Lord. May God’s will rather than our own will be done in us!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
