“He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord offerings in righteousness.” (Malachi 3:3, NASB)
“What do we prize in a day when values are slipping: the dross of human cleverness and worldly resources, or the gold and silver of divine origins and redemption through Christ? Many things in Christianity have become too cheap today, but there is no easy short-cut to spiritual worth … For there comes a day when the true character of things is tested … At such a time they can tell whether the speaker has really been taken by God through the things of which he speaks. What has not already touched him deeply will have little power to touch others in that day.”
(from A Table in the Wilderness by Watchman Nee, August 3rd)

Beautiful. Though I am not always good at it I try to live my life so that He may purify me as gold and silver in His eyes and not in the world’s eyes.
