Quote:
No words can express how much the world owes to sorrow. Most of the
Psalms were born in the wilderness. Most of the Epistles were written
in prison. The greatest thoughts of the greatest thinkers have all passed
through fire. The greatest poets have "learned in suffering what they
taught in song." In bonds, Bunyan lived the allegory that he afterwards
wrote, and we may thank Bedford Jail for the Pilgrim's Progress. Take
comfort, afflicted Christian! When God is about to make pre-eminent
use of a person, He puts them in the fire. ~ George McDonald
1 Peter 1:6
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be,
you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of
your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes,
though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and
glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
Prayer:
O God,
When I am going through the fires of testing and suffering, may I
be mindful of how You use these times to purge away my dross
and make me fit for greater things. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
