About this episode

In today’s episode, you’ll hear a devotion written by Lysa TerKeurst based on Malachi 3:3, which says, “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the LORD” (ESV).


We hope today’s devotion encourages you that you can trust God in the midst of difficult seasons and that nothing God allows you to go through is pointless.
