Topic: Refiner And Purifier
Read
1 Corinthians 3:1
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
Memorise
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
Malachi 3:3
There are great lessons to learn from the process of refining silver. To start with, the silversmith holds a piece of silver in the middle of the fire where the flames are hottest, in order to burn away all the impurities.
He has to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time its in the fire because if its left for too long, it will be destroyed. The moment he sees his image in it, he knows the silver is fully formed and quickly removes it.This is the same way God refines His true children.
He uses the heat of life to purify them into a pure picture of Himself where it burns out the works of the flesh, bad attitude, and selfishness from them. He also allows the struggles of life to refine and conform them into His image.
Therefore, whenever youre going through trials or temptations, God is right there as the silversmith, ensuring that you dont burn. He wants to use the process to refine you and make you come out pure. He is a specialist at producing masterpieces, of which you are one. Dont turn away from Him for any reason, remain in the process so that Christ can be fully formed in you.
