“For You, God have tested us, refined us as silver is refined.”
Psalm 66:10 CJB
God does allow tests to happen to us, that is one of the ways He refines us! We get to make choices and decisions! Do we make the right ones? Like the children of Israel, they had a choice to make in Numbers 25, to sin or not to sin. They made the wrong choice, but Phinehas did the right thing, which refined the children of Israel!
“Pinchas the son of El`azar, the son of Aharon the Cohen, has deflected My anger from the people of Israel by being as zealous as I am, so that I didn’t destroy them in My own zeal.”
Numbers 25:11 CJB
Here we see that the anger of God is quenched by a right decision! This is one of the ways God refines us by going through the test or trial, but we must always choose Adonai!
“Then Pinchas stood up and executed judgment; so the plague was checked.”
Psalm 106:30 CJB
Today, we all need to be making right decisions in trials and watch how God uses our decisions to help refine us!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
