Once again, True Woman ’08 put out a very convicting post about the Biblical way to express your femininity.
I’ve gotta tell you that I’ve always had a problem with Point #2 – submitting to my husband. And boy has this led to many, many problems in my marriage. I’m really not liking the posts this month. However, God’s refining fire is not there to tickle and make us laugh. It’s mean to reveal the impurity in our hearts so that it can be removed, through God’s grace.
When I think of this, I’m reminded of something I learned many years ago, when I attended a Kay Arthur Bible study. The process of refining silver was described, in detail. The image is of silver being boiled, and the impurities rising to the top, where a worker took a ladle-like tool and skimmed the impurities from the precious metal below. This process cannot happen without the fire. God’s Word is the fire that convicts us of our sin, bringing it to mind so that it can be dealt with.
Whoever said that being a Christian is easy sure didn’t walk the walk, eh? It’s tough, painful, and requires much introspection and prayer.
