Fire Testing and Refined like Gold

 

Read Daniel 3

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego Daniels three best friends were cast into the Fiery furnace because they did not worship the King Nebuchadnezzar's golden image. They fell down in the midst of the furnace. Why did they fall down ? was it the heat or what? the reason why they fell was to worship God and thank Him for the situation they were in. Thank God in all things not for all things but in all things.. As you probably have been through the fire or are going through a fire now, ( testings, trials or personal tribulations ). Just think that the fire you are going through is not in vain but it has a higher purpose. Its either for your sake or for the sake of others and pray that God is exalted and honoured through out these times. Reason I say for others is because when we go through something we have the experience and then the knowledge to share our testimony or message with others who are going through something similar as the Word says in 2 Corinthians 1 : 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. It will refine you causing you to be more like the image of Christ Jesus. Also, fire will take out the impurities like dross from the gold in other words things that are defiling you and your character must be burnt out. It is better to cut off a branch and throw into the fire than your whole body going into the fire.
