Jeremiah 12:5 (MSG) "5-6“So, Jeremiah, if you’re worn out in this footrace with men,what makes you think you can race against horses?And if you can’t keep your wits during times of calm,what’s going to happen when troubles break looselike the Jordan in flood?"
Sometimes running with and for the Lord gets intense. There is this fire within that can not be quenched.
But in the end fire changes everything. Embrace the flame.
It has always amazed that when ever I come through something with God I am always changed for the better. I learn things about myself I could have never learned any other way. I learn that I am stronger than I think. I learn that pain does not last forever. I learn that people will disappoint us. That is why we are to put our hope and trust in the Lord not in people. We are to love people but trust the Lord. Yes, fire changes everything. Embrace the fire of God and allow God to have His perfect work.
1 Peter 1:7 (NIV) "These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."
Zechariah 13"9 (VIV) "And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’
1 Peter 5:10 (ESV) "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."
He is a refiner's fire, and that makes all the difference. A refiner's fire does not destroy indiscriminately like a forest fire. A refiner's fire does not consume completely like the fire of an incinerator. A refiner's fire refines. It purifies. It melts down the bar of silver or gold, separates out the impurities that ruin its value, burns them up, and leaves the silver and gold intact. He is like a refiner's fire.
