"Are You In The Fire?"

I was reading some time ago in the book of Job and if you don't know this man's story you are missing a great life application moment!! Just a brief synopsis: Job is selected by God to be the victim of the devil based on God's recommendation and referral as being one whom would not forsake his relationship with God even if all God's blessing were withdrawn from him and the devil is instructed by God to do all he wants to Job but not to touch his soul. When you have time read the story but I want to observe a verse written in the book of Job by Job. In  Job 23:10 it says,"But He knows the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold" KJV and another version The Message says, "But He knows where I am and what I've done. He can cross-examine me all He wants, and I'll pass the test with honors. I've followed Him closely, my feet in His footprints, not once swerving from His way. I've obeyed every word He's spoken, and not just obeyed His advice-I've treasured it. I can honestly say that  I haven't done all that Job has done and I also haven't gone through what he went through but I can truthfully say that I have been tried!! In the fire I haven't maintained my stance of not complaining as even Job did but the fire has had a twofold effect on my life. It has burned away all unnecessary things that have clouded my vision and weighed me down and also the fire has purified and perfected my development into what I am in the process of becoming!! The fire will purify you and also burn away those distractions that cloud your vision. You may not enjoy all aspects of the trial by fire but when you come out you will be pure and illuminating the reflection of He Who is in the fire. The fourth one in the fiery furnace that looks like and now we know is the Son of God!! Let's get through this and become what He wants to make us!! We can make it through this!!
