We looked at the process of refining wine Sunday. And how God says He never refined Moab, but left him as he always was, unlike His own people. And we traveled throughout the Scriptures looking at the process of God and how there are times when He allows us to "suffer awhile" but it's always with a purpose and aim to get the sediment off of our lives — because He's changing how we smell and taste. (1 Peter 5 ; Jeremiah 48:11 ; Psalms 119:67 ; Nahum 1:12).
God will trouble us, allow the enemy to afflict us, and He does it all with an aim to get Jesus out of us. (2 Corinthians 4). Sunday mornings message we explored how David, in Psalms 25, asked the Lord to keep the enemy from triumphing over him, that no matter what the enemy does, he will continually lift his soul to the Lord. The fact He's chosen to refine us is a wonder and lifts my spirit to thank and look unto Him. He said Moab has been at ease (never troubled by God) from his youth for God left him on his own sediment. He didn't pour him from vessel to vessel to refine him nor did He put him away in a dark cave to change his smell and flavor. (Jeremiah 48:11). Great word for us!
We see in Jeremiah 46-51 how God is revealing His secret plans for the nations… as Amos 3 reminds us of how God reveals a thing to His prophets before He does it. Why? So His people will know who did it when it happens.
Slothfulness exposed… (Jeremiah 48:10)
Scents never changed… (Jeremiah 48:11)
Moab — God's wash pot.
Moab has been at ease (never troubled by God) from his youth for God left him on his own sediment. He didn't pour him from vessel to vessel to refine him nor did He put him
