Testing your Metal

It says in Philippians 2:13 "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." Before the precious metal can be removed from the fire, all of the dross must be removed. The Lord Jesus knows what He is doing with you. Am I letting His will work in me, and allowing His good pleasure to flow through me? Don't despise the trials of fire, God is preparing the metal. All the dross of pride, lust, arrogance, self-will etc... needs to come off. Listen the the voice of the Lord, speaking into your spirit. He has you right were He needs to have you!!
