See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
Isaiah 48:10
Comfort yourself with this thought. Let affliction come - God has chosen me. Whatever may happen to me in this valley of tears, I know that He has chosen me.
Remember this: You have the Son of Man with you in the furnace. You can't see Him, but you can feel the pressure of His hands. Don't be afraid, Christian. Jesus is with you. In all your fiery trials, His presence is both your comfort and safety. He will never leave one whom He has chosen as His own.
So take hold of Him and follow where He leads. Even in the valley of the shadow of death He says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10)
