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.
“When he was in distress, he entreated the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.”
2 Chronicles 33:12
