Some encouraging words from a man who had no earthly reason to be encouraging:
"Though He slay me, I will hope in Him."
'Even after my skin is destroyed, yet from my flesh I shall see God;
Whom I myself shall behold, and whom my eyes shall see and not another."
"But He knows the way I take; when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold."
He is the immovable anchor of our guaranteed hope.
Imagine! With your eyes you will see Him, and He will "clothe" you with an incorruptible, immortal body.
To be His gold and be "spent" by Him, you must be refined."
Paul--who knew a little about being refined, eh?--reminds us: "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, rejoice!" Always.
