Your works will be tried by Fire
“But he knoweth the way that I take: When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot hath held his steps, His way have I kept, and not declined. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:10-12 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/job.23.10-12.kjv
In a letter to the church in Thyatira God said to them “I know thy works….” (Rev 2:18). The Bible also tells us in 1 Corinthian 3:13 that every man’s work will be revealed by the test of fire. So, the questions are: What is your work? What is the quality of your work? Would your work stand the test of fire like gold that is refined and enhanced by fire? In the Bible reading today, Job answers this by attesting that his foot has held God’s ways and so he was confident of emerging out of the fire like gold. He had also esteemed God’s word more than food. As we go through life, we leave a trail. When God looks at the trail that you leave, would he be pleased? As you go about your activities today, take time to reflect on the quality of your work from the lens of the kingdom. If you are unsure of its ability to stand the test of fire then make a decision to retrace today to begin to build up kingdom treasures that will speak for you. Prioritize God’s word and ways.

Please Lord help me through the word and the HolySpirit to build up kingdom treasures that will be refined through fire that you may indeed be pleased with me always 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
