The Purpose Of Life Is A Life Of Purpose

"When He has tested me, I will emerge as pure as gold"- Job 23:10

By the way, panning for gold is very painstaking, slow work. I would never want this to be the way I make a living. It takes patience, perseverance, and a technique that is all your own. The process of panning for gold goes on for a long time. The object is for the gold to settle to the bottom of the pan while the dirt is slowly washed away.

God makes us Christlike by shaking the pan of our lives to remove the impurities, the sin, of our lives. All of the shifting of our lives can be painful, but if we cooperate with Him, we will "emerge as pure as gold" (Job 23:10)

Great men and women of God are not made on the peak, they are formed in the valley. What a comforting thing to know that if God is testing your faith, it's because He has somewhere He wants to take you. God has to prove you before He can promote you.
