Malachi 3:3 says: He will sit as a refiner and
purifier of silver.
This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they
wondered what
this statement meant about the character and nature of God.
One of the women offered to find out the
process of refining silver and get back to the
group at their next Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an
appointment to
watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about
the reason for her
interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining
silver. *

As she watched the silversmith, he held a
piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He
explained that in
refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the
middle of the fire
where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the
impurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot;
then she
thought again about the verse that says:
He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.
she asked the silversmith if it was true that
he had to sit there in front of the fire the
whole time the silver was being refined.
The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there
holding the
silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the
entire time it was
in the fire. *

If the silver was left a ! moment too long in
the flames,
it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the
silversmith, How
do you know when the silver is fully refined? He
smiled at her and
answered,
Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in
it
If today you are feeling the heat of the fire,
remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching
you until He
sees His image in you.
