Isaiah 54:13-17. Look closely at verse 16 in this chapter. "See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work.” In the blacksmiths shop tools that are needed to produce the art of this craftsman are; a forge, anvil, tongs, hammers, chisels, firing tools, measuring tools and possibly other materials.
The most important part is to keep a good fire to fan the flames. This verse is a reminder that no matter how great the fire/flames, weapons are carnal, but our heritage is from the Lord... God’s purpose is to make us strong, useful instruments; just like the blacksmith hands; the Lord He is forging us to go on in life. The refiners fire is an element in the process and all too often many quit when the fire gets hot!
We should not ever quit, but endure to the end.
Forge On!
Steadfastness is the quenching process, when the cold Icey water hits the heat! Don’t sizzle back, but move forward in prayer, faith, hope and above all love! May you know the Master Craftsman in a personal way today. He loves you. Jesus is calling, come all you who are weary, and He will you rest. Blessings
