1 Chronicles 26:1-27:34; Ezekiel 23:1-49; John 8:31-59
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. Job 23:10
Brought up on a gold mine I often saw rough rock blasted from underground; crushed to powder in a massive mill then melted in intense heat. The mine manager knew what he was doing each step of the way until finally out from that furnace came pure gold. In the same way, God knows all about the problems; distresses; loneliness and sufferings which may be crushing me, but He is allowing them all so that one day I will come forth as gold. —David Croudace
Oh, rejoice in the Lord. He makes no mistake.
He knows the end of each path that I take.
For when I am tried and purified, I shall come forth as gold. —Ron Hamilton
