Glory... I love tying in the passage and principles found in Jeremiah 48:11 about the process of going from vessel to vessel in the refining process of wine making. How He left Moab alone and didn't refine them as He did His people. What God is doing with His own is changing how we smell and taste... by refining us through problems, afflictions, test and trials removing the sediment or bitter dregs/lees. Glory... He's refining us like a wine maker making a vintage wine.
Moab... God's wash pot. God didn't change Moab, into something like He refined His own people, He just used them for His dirty work.
But if we're not careful, we won't praise God for what we think the enemy is doing. No, it's not that we can't praise, because we can, but we won't praise Jesus, if we can't see His hand in the hardship/crisis of life or hope/comforts of life. (crisis or comfort).
Embrace the flames, my friends, it's through the fires of His furnace that we are refined for His service. He better than anyone knows how to consistently change how we smell and taste (Jeremiah 48:11). Have a great day loving Him and His wondrous ways and keep thanking Him for the flames of transformation.
