Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. Clarkes commentary on Isaiah 48:10 [excerpt] :כור cur, which we translate furnace, should be rendered crucible, the vessel in which the silver is melted. The meaning of the verse seems to be this: I have purified you, but not as silver is purified; for when it is purified, no dross of any kind is left behind. Had I done this with you, I should have consumed you altogether; but I have put you in the crucible of affliction, in captivity, that you may acknowledge your sins, and turn unto me. therefore, i am indeed thankful for the trials and painful lessons of my life, as they have tempered my spirit to a stronger degree. -K
