Today’s Thought “Perfunctory vs. Transformed” G. Ward

“But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap.” Malachi 3:2

It seems like yesterday when we viewed the Illustrious Ella “First Lady of Song” Fitzgerald in the cassette tape commercial representing Memorex. It was 1972, the era of 3 major television stations along with 2 or three others on the UHF (Ultra High Frequencies) dial on your television set. Ms. Fitzgerald was nostalgic for ability in excellent tone, often exercising incomparably through high-pitch range that could witness the breakage of glass in “live” studio or via a Memorex cassette tape. Their slogan to adopt was, “Is it real, or is it Memorex?” Translation – While many cassette brands exist, none could match the genuine quality of their brand (i.e. Imitation vs. Real).

The truest determinant in being bought by Christ’s Sufficiency as HE takes what’s HIS and does the work of the silversmith via a burn to precious metals (indicative of the heart of man) to then cleanse him forever (therefore making him useful and effective for service) has and will always be the identifier of knowing HIM.

Happy Thursday!
