That moment when you're going through the fire, the LAST thing we want to hear (in our flesh) is "TRUST GOD". The typical human response is, "I DON'T want to hear that mess right now. You obviously can't see what's happening here". It's THAT typical response that causes us to start our specific trial over again UNTIL we can go through it honorably while saying, "Though they slay me, yet will I trust YOU my God (King James Bible, Job.13:15)!" We as believers, WILL BE tried in the fire (like the Hebrew boys in Daniel 3), but IF and WHEN we stand firm in our faith we shall come out like gold. We will be precious , valuable, tested AND refined!

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. James 1 NLT http://bible.com/116/jas.1.5-8.NLT
