Tbere was a group of women in a Bible Study on the book of Malachi. As tbey were studying chapter tbree, tbey came across verse tbree wbich says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifi- er of silver.' This verse puzzled tbe women and tbey won- dered what this statement meant about the char- acter and nature of God. One of the women offered 10 find out about tbe process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next bible study. That week the womnan calleri up a silver smitb for ber inerest in slver beyond ber curiosity about the process of refîning silver. As she watcbed the silver smitb, he beld a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. Be explained tbat in refining silver, one needed o bold the silver in the middle of the fire wbere the flames were bottest as to hum away ail the impurities. The woman tbougbt about God holding us in sucb a bot spot - tben she tbougbt again about tbe verse, that be sits as a refiner and purifier of silver. She asked the silver smitb if it was true that be bad to sit there in front of the fire the wbole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yea, be not only had to sit there holding the silver. but ho bad 10 keep is eyes the silver was left even a montent îîîî long in the lintes, it would he destroyed. The woman was silent for a monment. Then she asked the sîlver smitb "How do you know wben the sîlver is fully refined?" He smiled at ber and answered, "Oh, thats easy -wben I see my image in it." if today you are feeling the beat of the fire, remember that God bas Bis eye on you. And ont only is He watchîng over you, He is patiently perfecting you, waiting tîlI you are a reflection of imn. God is always there - helping to refine you, even througb your pain or circumstance.
