sifted, tried, shaken
My word speaks of being sifted like wheat, tried in the fire, and of all things being shaken to find that which will endure shaking. Do you imagine these as future apocalyptic events to happen in a worldwide collapse in preparation for my return? Do you think that the Christian life you now lead will prepare you for them? These things will indeed prepare you for my return, but you don’t need to wait for a widespread calamity for them to occur. These things occur in the lives of individual believers every day. Don’t fixate on external drama.
