Hey friends of Thrive! Today's One Year bible has the following verse from Psalm 12 that I really liked.
6 The Lord's promises are pure,
like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over.
like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over.
To me it means two things. First, God's promises are precious, and extravagant like high grade silver. So whatever promises you have from God, cling to them as though they were costly silver family heirlooms. Secondly, the promise being refined in a furnace means that His promises to us are tried and tested. Will we believe when it seems like God has forgotten about us? Will we believe when circumstances to the contrary scream at us? If we are willing to do that, we will see that God's greatest delight is making good on His promises. After all, they are like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over.
My Prayer for today: Lord, I choose to believe, in spite of what I feel. Your promises are secure and true. You can not lie. Forgive me for my times and seasons of doubt and now I cling to your promises once again, as though they were precious silver.
