I AM takes fastidious care of you! It may feel at times as if you are walking the journey of life alone. Nothing seems to go as planned, with everything falling apart and going astray. I want you to stop and look around; ponder what is taking place.
You are deep within the refiner’s fire! The kiln is growing hotter and while the temperature seems unbearable, remember that I walk beside you. Place your trust in Me, knowing that your faith is being tested. Will you trust Me to be your faithful companion? Will you be My faithful companion in turn? Will you take My hand and walk by faith or continue to lean on your own understanding? Allow Me to burn off the impurities and renew you with My Spirit. Come My child, let’s enter the fire of refinement together!
Activation: Read Daniel 3:8-30. Imagine yourself in the place of these three men. How do you think you would respond in such a situation? How would you like to respond in such a situation? Reflect with Holy Spirit on how you have responded in the past to difficult tasks asked of you. Spend some time with Holy Spirit conversing on how to effectively and boldly embrace seasons of refinement.
2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like launderer’s soap [which removes impurities and uncleanness].
3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi [the priests], and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord [grain] offerings in righteousness.
Malachi 3:2-3 (AMP)
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king [looked and] was astounded, and he jumped up and said to his counselors, “Did we not throw three men who were tied up into the midst of the fire?” They replied to the king, “Certainly, O king.”
25 He answered, “Look! I see four men untied, walking around in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt! And the appearance of the fourth is like [a]a son of the gods!”
Daniel 3:24-25 (AMP)
