Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR
"You, O God, have purified us like silver
melted in a crucible." Psalm 66:10
As the olives must be crushed for the oil to flow;
as the grapes must be bruised in the wine-press
that the vats may be filled; as the gold comes out
refined from the furnace—so, through the agonies
of great trial, the best Christian graces are
developed.
"I have refined you in the furnace of suffering."
Isaiah 48:10
