194 - Creekbeds and Lava

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times. In Psalm 12, David expresses the drastic contrast between the fallen words of double-hearted people and the pure words of God. “Refined” describes the purifying process of a refiner, who heats metal, takes away the dross, and is left with a pure substance. Have you ever crossed a creekbed and searched for secure stones to stand on so you won’t fall in? My journal is filled with verses that met me in the moment and gave me a secure Place to stand. I will end by reading some of the Scripture I have written down in my journal. It is my pure, safe Place to stand while navigating life’s unforeseen challenges. You know, like creekbeds or lava you weren’t prepared to cross.
