Refining

Doug Hall • May 8, 2025

God puts us through trials to test us and to prepare us. He grows us in the refining fires of affliction.

God is trying to awaken something deep inside of us that can’t be done in our comfort. So he needs to pull us out of our comfort zone in order to awaken us.

 

You can’t grow in comfort so God brings battles to awaken something inside you that will become your testimony when the blessings finally come. Your power is refined in the furnace of affliction not to destroy you but to remove the things that hinder you.

 

"See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction."- Isaiah 48:10
