Into the Fire
This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, “They are my people, and they will say, The Lord is our God.”—Zechariah 13:9 (NIV)
The above verse shows that God brings His own people into the fire to refine them. He compares you to a precious metal, showing how the “fire of life,” the hot water, the challenges and difficult situations are for refinement. He is teaching and guiding you to think and live by His ways.
Lord, when I’m in the fire, I will lean on you to get through, as I trust that this difficult time will pass.
