Refinement // Jeremiah 1:16 (King James Version) 16And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands. Hosea 6:4-7 (King James Version) 4O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. 5Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. 6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. 7But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. Romans 11:7-9 (King James Version) 7What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: and so on,and so on.many times in the word of God,man trys to superceed and circumvent the instruction,and wisdom of almighty God,to no avail.but yet,to this day,they still try.so many cannot release self,they cant concede their own way of reasoning,or rationalzation.although that is the first order of buisness,when receiving Jesus Christ in their hearts and lives.they must realize,to become more in Christ,we must become less in ourselves.the unformed clay,for the potters hands.He will form,He will shape,He will mold you, and your life, into something pleasing to Him.and occasionally,due to human frailties,and a sinful nature by birth,we will fall short of that endowment placed on us by Him.a chip in our vase of life,but you know what?what a master craftsman our Father is,He can repair you,by;confession,repentence,and forgiveness.brethren,dont rely on your own repair; Proverbs 3:5-6 (King James Version) 5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. give it to God,He created you,He pruned you,He refined you,for His glory,in the name of Jesus Christ,amen.
