" He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. "

 

 

This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this

statement meantabout the character and nature of God.

 

 

One of the women offered to find out the

 

 

process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible

Study.

 

 

That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch

him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest

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! as to

burn away all the impurities.

 

 

The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought

againabout the verse that says:

 

 

" 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. If the

silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.

 

 

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, " How do

you know when the silver is fully refined? "

 

 

He smiled at her and answered, " Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in

it "

 

 

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire,remember that God has his eye

on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.

 

 

 

 

 

" Life is a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend

it once. "
