Purifier of Silver
Author: Unknown
Once upon a time in Dublin, a group of women were gathered to study the
bible. Some of them was hard to understand the bible verse : "He will sit as
a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and
refine them like gold and silver, till they present right offerings to the
LORD." (Malachi 3:3)
And after they discussed these verses, they decided to visit a silversmith
and asked him to show them how he refines silver. The silversmith was ready to
did it, as one asked him, "Would you sit there during these
refinerings process ?"
"Oh, yes, of course... ," he continued, "I should sit
there and keep my eye upon the silver's surface, becouse if the time of
process is a litle passed, the silver will be ruined.
At that time, they understood about the verse. And as they prepared to leave him, he called
them and say, "One more thing will I say to you, I would know my job is
successful, only if I can see my face through its surface."
Friends, isn't it, that God doing through us ? He tests us, He conscrates
us. He allows us to walk through temptations, for He will that we shine like
silver and reflect God from our life !
So, Christian life is not isolated from temptation ! You cannot eject this
word from your life, becouse God want that we can be in His present without
any spot. No other ways to refine silver as to burn it. Like a silversmith,
God watch every refinery process and He would not test us before our time,
and He would not test us over our limit. He test us, until we have our
brightnes and purity. If we follow His plan to refine us, so everything will
be beautiful in its time.
