Like David, you will meet with those who will rail and accuse, as did Shimri, and will be to one of your nature more cruel than “spears and arrows. Their tongue is a sharp sword.” Psalm 57:4. But look high, faint not, put your trust in the Lord day by day, and like Abraham now command your household after you. The future is in the hands of the Lord. God’s hand is not withdrawn. He has a work for you to do. As a refiner of silver, He is watching until the process of purification is complete. When the Lord sees we require the furnace fires to purify and refine, He leaves us not to be consumed. He will not make a full end. He will watch that the fire will not consume and destroy.
