Proverbs 27:21
"The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise." ESV
We have learned how silver and gold are purified by the refiner's fire; how it separates the purity from the impurity. Will we show how purified we have allowed the Lord to make us when we speak of our own accomplishments and the good life we have. Are we prideful, feeling superior, self-satisfied that we have accomplished much? Or are we humble and speak the truth of how it is only by the grace of God that we have gotten to this place? Do we honor ourselves for what we have accomplished or do we give all the glory to God? That will tell our purified we are.
Heavenly Father, may we never be puffed up by claiming what we have achieved as being by our own talents and abilities. Instead, let the blessings we have in this life be motivation to tell the world it is by Your loving grace, and Your desire to bless Your children. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
