Wisdom: Boast Only in God

God had come to a critical point in his relationship with the people of Judah. They had ignored his warnings and continued to disobey his will for them. God now had to bring punishment upon them. Notice, however, that their punishment was designed to change them. God would “test them like metal,” melting them down through the Babylonian exile and reshaping his people into a nation that could be used by him. In much the same way, God uses the trials in our lives to refine and test us. We often try to escape such testing, but God uses it to remind us of how much we need him.
