Here, using the words of Malachi, the Savior teaches us about the important role He can have in our trials and hardships as we turn to Him. As the Hymn "How Firm a Foundation" says, "When through fiery trials the pathway shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be they supply. The flame shall not hurt thee, I only design thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine." As we rely on the Lord and His grace in times of distress, and have faith in His love for us, we can use our trials to become better and not bitter.
