12:5-11); and then God uses fire to keep us on our knees, to bring us to a place in him where He can use us for His glory. We ought not to complain all the time when God puts us in the fire, because it is this place, the place of fire, that God has made some of His most faithful saints.
Why does God take us through the fire?
There are seasons of pain, brokenness, and struggles. But this is what God says: "When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you." That flame is not meant to burn you. It is meant to purify you. As someone who cooks a lot, I know the dangers and the strengths of fire.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
