Title: Pure As Gold and Silver

Scriptures: Proverbs 27:21

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus!  Proverbs 20:21 says...

People use fire to purify gold and silver. In the same way, you are tested by the praise people give you.

Such a realistic and practical truth!  The verse tells us that to purify gold and silver, it needs to go through fire.  Many times, we associate fire as the testings of our lives - the problems we face.  But in this verse, God tells us that we are tested by the praise people give us.  This tells me that the greater testing comes in praise or at a time in your life where you are at your peak, whether it's in your relationship, wealth, career, etc.  We tend to become vigilant and cautious when we are experiencing great troubles in life while, we relax and become at ease when everything in our lives are good, without realizing that the greatest testing comes during these times, when everything seems to be good, comfortable and all in our favor.  God tells us that it is during these times that we are being purified, may we find ourselves purified as gold and silver in the end when we go through the best times of our lives and not the other way around.

Happy Monday!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your wonderful truth today.  A true and practical wisdom that we can all use.  I ask Lord that You help me go through the toughest times in my life and come out pure as a gold and silver.  Help me to be vigilant and cautious especially in times when everything seems to be falling into its place or in favor of me.  Help me Lord to be humble at all times and continue to learn even in the best times of my life.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
