The Bible says that
God purifies us
like
silver and gold
is purified.
You have refined us as silver is refined.
Psalm 66:10b NKJV
God is our Silversmith.
Our Heavenly Father
wants to
purify us
like
silver and gold
so we become more like Jesus.
For He [God] is like a refiner’s fire
And like launderers’ soap.
He [God] will sit
as a refiner and a purifier of silver;
He will purify the sons of Levi,
And purge [refine] them
as gold and silver,
That they may offer to the Lord
An offering in righteousness.
Malachi 3:2b-3 NKJV
God refines us to make us more pure and righteous.
OUCH!
Silver is produced by
being broken, pounded,
crushed, crushed, crushed,
pulverized, put in acid,
silver trapped on filters,
put in oven, then
heated, melted, skim off waste,
heated, waste taken off again,
on and on - OUCH!
For You, O God, have tested us;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
Psalm 66:10 NKJV
Below is a video that explains the process
of refining silver.
Everyone has trials.
-
The purpose of trials is to refine us like gold
until we reflect God clearly.

Are you
yielding to God
or
resisting God?
Prayer -
Purify my heart
Jesus...
"Who gave himself for us to redeem us
from all lawlessness
and to purify
for himself
a people for his own possession
who are zealous for good works."
Titus 2:14 ESV
Trials are designed to
conform us to the image of Christ.

Proverbs 17:3 NLT says
Fire tests the purity of silver and gold,
but the LORD tests the heart.
But He knows the way that I take;
When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
Job 23:10 NKJV
As we yield to God and give him time,
He makes our life
Beautiful.
And we can sing along as the song below says:
He made something beautiful with my life.
