1 Peter 1:7 ‘That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:’

One of the most valuable materials on earth is gold. It has been used for centuries as money, but it also has many uses in industry, manufacturing, and even space flight. One of the traits that makes gold so useful is that it can be shaped and formed easily. In fact, a single ounce of gold can be flattened out to cover three hundred square feet. Gold is also used for jewelry and a host of other things.
Indeed gold is considered very precious on the earth, but until it passes through the refiner’s fire, it holds no value.
Gold ore dug out of the ground contains many other elements that must be removed prior to the gold being useful. The refining process for gold involves intense heat. Gold melts at a temperature of almost two thousand degrees Fahrenheit. That incredibly high temperature is required for gold to be ready to be used.
Just like gold, every believer carries an enviable destiny, which must be processed through the fire for our real values to manifest. A refiner’s fire does not destroy that which is of value. It only burns up the chaff. The fire melts down the bar of gold, separates out the impurities that ruin its value, burns them up, and leaves the gold intact.
In the fire, what gets burned up are the chaff and the impurities in us. As long as we sincerely serve God and trust that He is working all things together for our good, we should rejoice rather than complain during trials because we know we are coming out better and stronger.[1 Peter 1:7 ]
Job 23:10 says that after we have been tried, we shall come forth as gold.
All through the Scripture we see this principle. All of the great heroes of faith went through their “trial by fire” experiences, yet because God was with them, it all ended in praise. The truth is that the fire is a necessary purification process for anyone who will be used by God.
Today, if it feels like you are passing through a ‘trial of fire’ be encouraged that in Isaiah 43, God has promised that when we go through the fire He will be with us. And when God is with you, the fire is not going to consume you; rather it’s going to refine, purify and increase your value exceedingly. After all said and done, by God’s grace it will end in praise and you will emerge from the test with a greater testimony.
PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to praise You in every situation because You are forever faithful. By Your grace through every trial and temptation, I shall come forth better, stronger, and wiser in Jesus Name..
