Refiner's Fire by Billy Graham

Day By Day With Billy Graham

Day 180 of 366 Refiner's Fire Why do Christians suffer? Rest assured that there is a reason for Christian people being afflicted. One reason why God's people suffer, according to the Bible, is that it is a disciplinary, chastening, and molding process. From the Scriptures we learn that the chastening of affliction is a step in the process of our full and complete development. Affliction can also be a means of refining and of purification. Many a life has come forth from the furnace of affliction more beautiful and more useful than before. Daily Prayer Lord, whatever I have to face, through it let me learn more of Your love and compassion. 2 Chronicles 33:12 NASB 12 When he was in distress, he entreated the L ord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
