Rambling thought

DizzyD:
           This morning as I was sippin on my coffe on the front porch I thought back to the days i was a machinist for a  company I worked for. The parts I machined were cast from a lost wax process and the machining process was multi steps. After each step I had to inspect the part for flaws and if there were any I threw them into a recycl bin and were sent back to the foundry. There they were threw into the fire of the furnace and recast into a new piece. I was thinking of how similar it must be to what is and will happen in the lake of fire for those of us who don't meet the quality check this time around.

DizzyD:
                Maybe the trials and tribulations we go through in this life are the equivelant of the machining process

DizzyD:
                     I didn't like my response there,sorry, I'm really not that sharp of a pencil in this pencil box. I personnaly believe that I will have to go through the lake of fire now days when I do something stupid I say to myself that will be another stripe.

hey bud ;)

ever read this:

alachi 3:3 says: “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.”
This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study class and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to th group at their next class.

That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn’t mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.
 

The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot then she thought again about the verse that says: “He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.”
She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. the man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, “How do you know when the silver is fully refined?” He smiled at her and answered, “Oh, that’s easy— when I see my image in it.”
If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.



God bless ya Bud.
