Gold-Friday Freedom

But he knows the way that I take;
    when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.

Job 23:10 ESV

Moses, David, Job, Paul, Peter, and most certainly Jesus all came to understand the purpose of God’s trials. Trials make us stronger. Trials make us cling to God. Suffering makes you a stronger Christian. You will pray more fervently. You will understand the Word more. You will be able to minister to others in a way that was foreign to you in the past. Gold has to be tried with fire to become pure. God sees the greatness in you. The fires in life are transforming you into pure greatness!

“He's preparing me for something 
I cannot handle right now 
(Handle, now) 
He's making me ready 
Just because He cares 
He's providing me with what I'll need
To carry out the next matter in my life 

He's preparing me 
Because He cares for me 
He's maturing me 
Because He cares for me 
He's arranging 
Rearranging me 
He's preparing 
Because He cares for me 
He is training me 
He is tuning me 
He is purging me 
He is pruning me!”
