Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but a person is tested by being praised. (Proverbs.27.21 NLT)
Success comes with an elevation which definitely invites glory and praise. It is usually common that most people at some point experience what the future holds for them yet not it all. It usually happens before the full manifestation of the person.
These moments should never be taken for granted because they are not just a stage in life. They come to align our actions to pursue that realm. These experiences also hold the tests designed for us to check the readiness of heart.
For example, let's say at one point you used to demonstrate power in the spirit. Everything that happened was aligning you but also how you responded to what the world said about you was also very important.
Our theme scripture says, "fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but a person is tested by being praised." Many people think it is only tough situations which come as trials to a Christian, but know now that even the successes that you get also come to test you.
It is common among men that when they start to experience praise, their hearts become proud. Thinking of themselves above others. They start to focus on the opinions of men other than the God who raised them.
Today, take equal caution on how you respond to both, times of plenty and scarcity, failure and success. In both is the trail of your heart.
Hallelujah!
