DO YOU FEEL THE HEAT?
"He will sit like a refiner of silver, burning away the dross..."(Mal. 3:3,NLT) I have heard that, goldsmiths spend a lot of time, sitting by fire to make sure there are no dross in their final product. Gold goes through intense heat to become pure. And the same amount of heat that helps to refine gold, to bring out its beauty is the same heat that is needed to take away the dross. Just as Gold is precious to man, man is also precious to God. You may have to go under some intense heat in life, to bring the beauty inside you. And as we can see in our text, the refiner actually sits down to watch the silver and gold burning. He doesn't take them out of the fire because He has a goal. When he takes the gold off the fire before its time, it may not glitter. God also wants to purify and take away all the dross in you. So when the fire gets hot, know that it is not meant to kill, but to make God see His reflection in you. And you can only see a reflection on the surface of pure gold! AB@TWD
