What trial in your life is going to purify you and bring forth gold? Yesterday March 12th I was nervous as I lay on the table for radiation even though it was my 13th treatment, I couldn't focus then this phrase "I shall come forth as gold" came to mind. The Holy Spirit gave that to me as I lay there for my treatment.
Throughout the day and evening I've thought about it. When I am tried (cancer) and purified (chemo, surgery, more chemo, radiation, nine more months of infusions) I shall come forth as gold (healed if the Lord sees fit,maybe more refining to be a better witness for Him)
Every day brings something new or different. I believe that is the Lord refining what is to come.
Job 23:10 "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."
The Lord knows the way you'll take, because he's leading you. (Cancer, death of a lived one, a sick child etc)
He knows the trial you'll face, because he's already in your tomorrow. (Where to go, what medicines to take, what doctor to see)
He knows the pain, the heartache, the tears, the joy, the happiness.
So we just need to surrender to his will and you'll come forth as gold.
So friend just allow God to work in an through you in the valley an on the Mountain top. He holds your hand through the good and the bad. God's is always there to comfort an cheer.
What's your purifying to gold going to be like?
In my last post I had mentioned I have a verse a day for radiation. Yesterday's verse was:
Isaiah 51:11 "Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away."
This verse can be applied to, coming forth as gold. In that we can obtain gladness, joy, and have our sorrow and mourning pass away. What trial do you have sorrow in? Mourning the fact of ___________ (you fill in the blank).
God makes a way for us it's up to the individual if you're going to allow God to purify you through the trial and come forth as gold with gladness an joy. Or are you going to fight against it and not grow or learn from the trial.
I personally want to learn. I want to be a testimony for Christ, an use my trial for Him to see others saved. To help others come through their trial.
So, what will you do?
Blessed Beyond Measure
