SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 12:6 And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.
OBSERVATION: Silver that has been purified in an earthen furnace, then purified again, and then purified again up to seven times, would surely be considered pure.
The Word of God does not need a furnace to purify it; it is already purer than silver that has been refined seven times. Generation after generation, decade after decade, year after year, God’s Word is placed in earthen furnaces — in the hearts of people.
APPLICATION: Find a family who has held the Word of God in high regard for generations and see the purity of the Word shining through.
Find a person who has held the Word of God in high regard for decades and see its effect on that life.
God’s Word is not put in the furnace to make it pure, but to prove it is pure. It can take the heat! And those who hide it in their hearts discover that they too can take the heat. It continues to be proven pure time and time again.
PRAYER: Lord, Your word is pure. It remains trustworthy and true. It continues to be a proven foundation for every life. Amen
