God Chooses His Children from the Furnace of Affliction and Refines Them ㅡ
“Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.” (Isaiah 48:10)
“Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.” (Ezekiel 37:23)
God’s children are always being tested in the furnace of affliction.
If they endure the first trial, it is not necessary for them to pass through a similar ordeal the second time; but if they fail, the trial is brought to them again and again, each time being still more trying and severe.
Thus opportunity after opportunity is placed before them of gaining the victory and proving themselves true to God.
But if they continue to manifest rebellion, God is compelled at last to remove His Spirit and light from them.
Sorrow and trial must come to all, and is beautiful only as it works to polish, to sanctify, and refine the soul as a fit instrument to do service for the Lord.
(Isaiah 48:10 EGW Commentary)
