Good Morning Thursday...
FATHER thank YOU for this new day. Thank You that You ARE AS A REFINER OF SILVER, and for remaining with us through “The Fires” of this Life. MAY WE REFLECT YOUR IMAGE. Abba, PURIFY US, help us to melt off our impurities, to walk IN YOUR SPIRIT, and to help in DOING GOOD FOR ALL. IN Your Mighty Son and Our Lord and Savior YESHUA HA’MASHIACH, JESUS CHRIST’S NAME we pray… AMEN! - The Refiner and Purifier of Silver Good morning Brothers and Sisters. Today I would like to share something amazing with you. Not only is it encouraging and exciting, but it is also The Truth, The Holy Word of Our Father, so we know that we can hold firm to it. I ran across this somewhere in my research and it was one of those incredible, encouraging Truths that only God Our Father can bring through His Word. Although the author who penned this is unknown, we know The True Author made this possible and available for us. Some of you may have seen or read this before, but I think you will agree, it is wonderful. I pray it edifies, strengthens, and encourages each and everyone of you today. May we go out knowing Our God, Father, Savior, and King is with us through the “hot spots” today and everyday. God Bless each and every one of you on the other side of this screen, your families, and all those who may come in contact with you. May we all allow The King of The Universe to purify us, bringing Glory to His Name, and Light to this world. Ahava V’Shalom (Love and Peace) be upon each and everyone of you and have a wonderful Refiner-Purified Day! The Refiners Touch There was a group of women in a Bible study on The Book of Malachi. As they were studying chapter three they came across verse three which says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver…" Malachi 3:3a This verse puzzled the women and they wondered what this statement meant about The Character and Nature of God. One of the women offered to find out about the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible study. That week the woman called up a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest in silver beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that, in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest so as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot - then she thought again about the verse, that “He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.” She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. For if the silver was left even a moment too long in the flames, it would be ruined. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "So, how do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's the easy part… when I see my image reflected in it." If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His Eyes on you and will keep His Hand on you and watch over you until He sees His Image in you. AUTHOR UNKNOWN The One Who Sits As A Refiner and Purifier of Silver - His Word of Truth: ““Look! I Am going to send My Messenger, and He will prepare The Way before Me. And The Lord whom you are seeking will come suddenly to His Temple, and The Messenger of The Covenant, in whom you are taking pleasure—look!—He is about to come,” says Yahweh of hosts. And who can endure the day of His coming? And who is the one who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire, like launderers’ alkali. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify the children of Levi, and He will refine them like gold and like silver, and they will present to Yahweh offerings in righteousness.” Malachi 3:1-3 LEB “And I will bring the remaining third into the fire, and I will refine them like one refines silver, and I will test them like one tests gold. They will call My Name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are My people,’ and they” Yahweh Is My God.’” Zechariah 13:9 LEB “A crucible is for the silver, and a furnace is for the gold, but Yahweh will test hearts.” Proverbs 17:3 LEB “Now if anyone builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw, the work of each one will become evident. For the day will reveal it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the work of each one, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work that he has built upon it remains, he will receive a reward.” 1 Corinthians 3:12-14 LEB
