The Great Refiner is
watching to see how the precious metal of your character reflects
His image. Or, in plain language, in every trial He watches to see
what influences control our actions, whether they be influences of
present advantage, or worldly policy, or personal friendship, or
earthly loves—of husband, or wife, or children, or love of ease, or
love of peace at any cost; or whether, on the other hand, we are
controlled by the naked principles of truth and righteousness; and
whether we will defend these principles with zeal and energy at any
cost of labor or suffering, or both, and so fight the good fight of
faith to the bitter end—even unto
death. |
