In Vs.7, there are 2 key words Melt/refine and try— the Hebrew word used for melt/refine here is “Tsaraph” and it means to Refine which is defined as To purify or improve something by removing impurities or enhancing quality. The Hebrew word used for try/test is “Bachan” and it means to examine, test for authenticity or prove something quality —— Psalm 66:10-12 says “For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs. You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.” — do we see that what looks like punishment is not really punishment? It is purification to reveal glory, take away impurities, make them better and just like gold, purification is through fire so our refining is also through means of suffering like Job, Joseph; some will think they are perfect so GOD will test them to reveal their imperfections so they can work on it. —— that tough situation might be GOD’s mercy to avoid total condemnation. GOD still calls them my people, so it’s not rejection. Vs.23&24 we should not glory in wisdom, might, riches but in our understanding and knowledge of GOD, brethren let us rejoice, and be happy and continue to grow in the knowledge of GOD.

While reading this it just occurred to me that this is what you get when we have relationship with God. Not Jeremiah and God having inside gist. They are doing q and a😊. Relationship brings us to that place of intimacy and you know the secret thing l. Imagine God telling you stuffs brother happen. What a privilege. But that won’t just come like that you have to go through the process. What does it take? constant fellowship with him definitely. God will bring us to that place of intimacy in Jesus name.
