REFINED

Today's reading: Psalm 12-14

"The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." Psalm 12:6 NLT

When a precious metal is 'refined', that means it is heated to the point at which its entirety melts and any impurities within it rise to the top and can be skimmed off by the metalworker.

To think David refers to God's promises as 'silver refined seven times', should cause us to attempt to grasp just how precious His promises are.

They are tested--and found to be true!

They are hope-filled--He will never, and can never, go back on His word!

They are entirely based upon His holiness--not on our own efforts!

They are timeless--not only did they stand for men like Noah and Moses, they stand true for us today!

Do you keep a list of God's promises before you at all times? Do you have a print off of what He promises? I'm attaching a link, maybe you will print it off and keep His promises constantly before you!
