Furnace of Affliction

Isa 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction

As per commentary by Matthew Poole Power Bible CD
Ver. 10. I have refined thee; or, I will refine thee. Although I will not cut thee off, or utterly destroy thee, as I now said; yet I will put thee into the furnace, not to consume thee, but to purify thee from that dross which cleaveth to thee, and needs such afflictions to purge it away. This so described my bout with depression and my feeling of being cleansed of guilt by the Holy Spirit. Speaking of perseverance and adversity, Please may this be a good day today O Lord, In Christ name we pray, amen.
