Refining Fire
October 12th, 2008 Categories: Christian Business Blog
“6) In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,
7) so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;” (1 Peter 1:6-7)
This scripture is a tack-on to our discussion from yesterday. I said that if you don’t like the shaking, you really won’t like the consuming fire. Of course, the reality is that the consuming fire is meant to be a refining force that will perfect your character and faith in God.
Don’t be mad at God if your portfolio has decreased. Don’t lose faith. Don’t be so easily shaken. Your relationship with God is more precious than gold. We’ve been saying it all along. Now it’s time to see who really believes it.
