DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 1; Jeremiah 34; Hebrews 5:11 to 6:20
I am the Lord thy God, who teacheth thee to profit. Isaiah 48:17
Often the child of God questions why the heavenly Father allows trials in their lives. The above verse suggests that He would teach us through them and thus we profit from them. His refining process in our lives, removes the dross and produces fruit, thus conforming us to the image of his Son. As we submit to His will, may His grace enable us to trust Him, and truly profit. —E. V.
If through fiery trials our pathway should lie,
His grace all-sufficient shall be our supply,
The flame shall not hurt us; His only design,
Is the dross to consume and the gold to refine.
—W. Williams
