—Proverbs 25:2-7a
by: Gabrielle Watt.
There are things that God has not revealed to us. And there are things that we as humans are not going to know until God reveals it to us—when (or if) He sees fit. Raw silver is not aware of its impurities, but once they are removed, the remaining metal is usable and able to be turned into beautiful things. In the same way, impurities we may not be aware of must be purged from our lives in order for God to use us in accordance with His will. We are sinners and have impurities in our lives. Do not allow pride to make you think of yourself in a higher regard than you are, otherwise you risk the humiliation of being put in your place.
