Proverbs 25: Refine Yourself
Proverbs 25: Refine Yourself
"Take away the dross from the silver,
And there comes out a vessel for the smith..."
Proverbs 25:4
Sin weakens us.
It grabs onto a part of our life, sinks in its teeth and consumes us. It leaves us fragile, broken and unable to withstand the pressures life gives us.
Ask me how I know.
And that's why God purifies us. He refines us with trials and temptations. He provides us with opportunities to grow away from sin's grasp because He knows apart from it we will be infinitely stronger. Our lives will be cleaned free from sinfulness and we will be better for it if we allow ourselves to be put through refining fires.
Remember this verse the next time you find yourself in a battle. Hold onto Him and He will pour off any of the impurities that are eroding your life. You've just got to hang on until He is finished. And that'll happen once He sees Himself reflected perfectly in you.
The fire will make you stronger. Trust Him.
Have a Christ-filled day, y'all. And thanks for stopping by~ Katie.
