Scripture
Mark 9:49 "Everyone's going through a refining fire sooner or later..."
Observation
A great friend of mine uses this phrase - 'fire now or fire later'. He & I have decided that individually & together we're going for fire now.
Obviously, that's not always going to be pretty since it causes the dross to come to the surface. There's also likely to be pain, but as J John would say 'the cause (on earth & eternally) is worth the cost'.
Application
I need to embrace today - it's another opportunity for refinement as I 'work out my salvation'.
Prayer
Lord, I thank you for the existing fires in my life & that your love is so great that you continue to challenge & discipline me for my best.
If the heat needs turning up in any areas, please do so.
Yours - Jonathan
