Date of Creation: January 30th, 2025
Not by noise, nor by delay,
but by hearts made ready and awake.
For the day does not knock twice,
and the unprepared cannot plead surprise.
The process is the fire of His word,
burning off what does not endure.
Precept by precept, the soul is shaped
until obedience becomes its nature.
The furnace is not punishment, but proof,
a sifting of motives, a weighing of truth.
What cannot bow to holy flame
will fracture beneath the weight of His name.
Hidden alloys rise into sight,
when fire demands what’s pure and right.
What will not bend, what will not stay,
the flame will surely drive away.
Thus waiting becomes a discipline learned,
where silence speaks and patience is earned.
Only the tried, refined, and kept
may stand when the trumpet is finally swept.
Blessed are they found watching,
clothed in truth, battle ready – fighting.
When the Refiner appears, they will not be
stubbles or hays, but silver or gold,
as His eyes will declare.
