- Proverbs 17:3 (NKJV) The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the hearts.
If you hope to produce pure silver and gold you have to refine them correctly.
In the same way, if you hope to produce something valuable in your life don’t go to your friends to get their approval and blessings. Worse still, don’t measure yourself against how others are doing. That’s no good!
The only way you know you’ve really become a person of value and significance is if you sense God’s approval.
