He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness  MALACHI 3:3

I want you to know that at times I wonder, if it's possible that when we don't hear from God, that the Lord is being that Refiner and Purifier that sits closely by in our lives - silent, while He continues to mold us into the person that He created us to be - constantly preparing us for our true purpose, along with all the unfinished work that He has placed in front of us.

Could it be that He's equipping and readying us, so we don't spend all our time trying to "clarify" God's meaning, when it comes to the mission that He has for us, or even worse, being faithless, while
allowing ourselves to grow doubtful and be paralyzed by fear - when God is simply telling us: "Just go!"

Have we forgotten that the Bible says that for four-hundred years - God was silent? And this silence took place from the recording of Malachi all the way through to the gospel of Matthew. Keep in mind that one word from God - wasn't heard during this time. So what was God doing for the four-hundred years, while He was being silent? Just like the refiner and purifier that I'd mentioned earlier, when God was being silent, He was still working on our behalf.

Once the purification season process is over, all that remains is that "tremendous void" that was left behind from the things that God had removed from your life. And there's only one person who can fill a void of this magnitude, and that's Jesus Christ.


David said "Create in me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me." -- (Psalms 51:10)

In order for us to accomplish this, God places us in the hottest part of the fire, while He watches silently, as the sinful dust of this world, and the lust of our eyes, and our prideful ways, melts off of us and fall into that "fire." That we should: "Count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations." -- (James 1:2)

Know that God is that Refiner and Purifier within our life, and although He silently sits nearby, make no mistake, God is still working on our behalf. Start today by making your life an offering in righteousness to Him, and "Just go and beweeve!"
