God has His eye on you

A woman wanted to find out the process of refining silver and get back at her next bible study. That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him work. She didn’t mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.


As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames hottest so as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such hot spot; the she thought about the verse that says: “He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.” She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver is left a moment too long in the flames, it could be destroyed. The woman was silent for a while. Then she asked the silversmith, “How do you know when the silver is refined?” He smiled at her and answered”oh that’s easy – when I see my image in it”.

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.

Joke
There was once a hat-seller who passed by a forest. The weather was very hot and he decided to take a nap under one of the trees, so he left his whole basket of hats by the side. A few hours later, he woke up and realized that all his hats were gone. Then he heard some monkeys on top of the tree and he looked up. To his surprise, the tree was full of monkeys. They had taken all of his hats! The hat-seller sits down and try to think of how he can get his hats down. He started to think and scratched his head. The next moment, he realized the monkeys were doing the same thing. Next, he took down his own hat and fanned himself. The monkeys did exactly the same! An idea struck him- he took off his hat and threw it on the floor and the monkeys did the same too. Happily he collected all his hats back. Fifty years later, his grandson also became a hat-seller and also got to hear the monkey story from his grandfather. One day just like his grandfather, he passed by the same forest. Feeling very hot, he took a nap under the same tree and left the hats on the floor. He woke up and realized that his hat were gone. He looked up and found that the monkeys had taken all his hats. Remembering what his grandfather had told him, he started scratching his head and the monkeys followed. He took down his hats and fanned himself and again the monkeys followed.


Now very convinced of his grandfather’s idea, he threw his hat on the floor…but to his surprise, the monkeys still held on to their hats! Then one bold monkey climbed down the tree, grabbed the hat on the floor, gave him a slap and said, “Idiot, you think say na only you get grandpapa!!! De monkey ma get grandpapa ha ha ha ha”.
