Daily Devotional. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the Fiery Trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: BUT REJOICE, inasmuch AS YE ARE PARTAKERS OF CHRIST’S SUFFERINGS; that, when His Glory shall be revealed, YE MAY BE GLAD ALSO WITH EXCEEDING JOY. Wherefore let them that suffer according to the Will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a Faithful Creator. 1 Peter 4:12-13,19. From Christ’s youngest days, all the way to and through the Cross, He was tested and tried at every turn to see if any sin could be found in Him. AND CHRIST WAS FOUND SINLESS, THE PERFECT, BLEMISH FREE LAMB OF GOD. Believers, are you being tried today and taken through the Fire of God’s Judgment against sin? REJOICE, this Trial by Fire is not against you, it is against what little sin IN you that may be trying to hide in some tiny corner of your Heart. Sin is being “burned” out of your Life as any works of wood, hay and stubble go up in smoke, and all your works of gold, silver and precious gems are left untouched. Christ is “Cleaning House” as He brings His Cleansing Fire into the Last Days Church for His final Purifying of His Bride as She is being Prepared to be found without spot, blemish or wrinkle upon His Return. REJOICE PEOPLE, His Cleansing Fire will ONLY clean out the garbage of self, flesh and the old man nature still trying to reside in you. THIS Fire means you NO HARM, as it is a “controlled burn” to take out the weeds, thickets and briars trying to hinder your Growth in the Lord. Yes, Judgment starts at the House of God, SO WHAT, IT WON’T AFFECT YOU, ONLY THOSE SINS TRYING TO STILL HIDE FROM THE ALL SEEING EYES OF CHRIST. Be Thankful He Loves you enough to Cleanse you all the Way into Purity, Righteousness, Holiness, Patience and Perseverance, to even be just like Him. Rejoice in the midst of His Cleansing Fire, as this small “brush fire” IS NOTHING to be compared to the fires of Hell, where they will NEVER, Be Blessed.
