The trying of your faith is more precious than gold, and when your faith is tried by the fires of testing, the fires of doubt, or the fires of discouragement – then I have promised that your faith will be refined into the finest gold and will be found unto praise and honor and glory at My appearing. (1 Peter 1:7) What does that mean? That means that this life is full of testing and purifying, and as you allow Me to continue to cleanse you of the impurities that so easily can clutter up your mind and heart, so you will continue to grow closer to Me and more full of My Spirit day by day. So no matter how hot the fires of testing might be, I am always with you in the midst of them. Like Daniel, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace, I was with them and kept them during that great test, and they came out without even the smell of smoke. So remember that these battles are part of your life as My disciple. I have called you to be a fighter for your faith, a warrior of the spirit who is willing to go into the furnace of testing knowing that I will bring you out as fine gold!
