The Furnace of Trial

The fire of trial is used

to test us,

to temper us

so we can become

more like Him.



Each scorching flame

makes us glow

a little more in His light

so we can be set apart

for His all-consuming glory.



We must be burned

lest we forget

what we’ve overcome and

so our attraction towards sin

can turn to ashes.  

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: Daniel 3: 19-25 “God goes with us into the furnace so we will be more like Him when we come out.”
