Psalms 66:10

10: You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver melted in a crucible.

You have tested my thoughts and examined my heart in the night. You have scrutinized me and found nothing amiss, for I am determined not to sin in what I say.

I have refined you but not in the way silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.

I will bring that group through the fire and make them pure, just as gold and silver are refined and purified by fire. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, `These are my people,' and they will say, `The LORD is our God.'"

So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though it is necessary for you to endure many trials for a while.
These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold--and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold. So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

do not listen to them. The LORD your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and soul.

He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good.

Remember how the LORD your God led you through the wilderness for forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would really obey his commands.

But he knows where I am going. And when he has tested me like gold in a fire, he will pronounce me innocent.
