“Take Away”
Blessings folk!
Are you searching the concealed things of God?
Are you looking toward the heavens?
Amazing, no?
Now, read the next Proverb…
Pro 25:4-5
Take away the dross from the silver,
and the smith has material for a vessel;
take away the wicked from the presence of the king,
and his throne will be established in righteousness.
ESV
This is the biblical support for the phrase “swallow the meat, spit out bone”. :)
To refine silver, one must remove the dross…the impurities.
Removal is a process.
A precise process.
Done incorrectly and it will result in “reprobate silver”…silver of far lessor value.
Done correctly and the result is silver that a smith can use for a vessel.
The next part of the Proverb speaks of removing wickedness from the king.
His throne will be established in righteousness when wickedness if removed.
The point?
We will go through processes that remove dross from our lives.
We are to remove the wickedness from our lives.
Purity will result.
Righteousness reflective of the salvation we have.
Take away…
