In the Fire


I was reading Streams in the Desert this morning and so many people I know came to mind who are radiant with joy in the midst of their trials.

Here's an excerpt:

"Glorify the Lord in the fires." Isaiah 24:15

Isn't there something captivating about the sight of a person burdened with many trials, yet who is as lighthearted as the sound of a bell? Isn't there something contagious and valiant in seeing others who are greatly tempted but are "more than conquerors" (Romans 8:37)? Isn't it heartening to see a fellow traveler whose body is broken, yet who retains the splendor of unbroken patience? What a witness these give to the power of God's gift of grace!
