Proverbs 17

The Lord tests the heart and seeks all that is in it. A man with understanding thus would seek the heart of God to become more like Him. This is not an easy task. In proverbs we see that God says it is the only way to long lasting life, happiness, and right living.
We each will be tested, and those that allow God to transform there hearts will be saved, but for others, through stubbornness and neglect they will be scraped out of the furnace and tossed away never to be used again.
