Daniel 3:18 & 24-25
New American Standard Bible
But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods nor worship the golden statue that you have set up.” Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up quickly; he said to his counselors, “Was it not three men that we threw bound into the middle of the fire?” They replied to the king, “Absolutely, O king.” He responded, “Look! I see four men untied and walking about in the middle of the fire unharmed, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!”
When was the last time you or I have been tempted to get out of our problems? I don’t know about you but I like running from my problems. It’s easier to run than to face them. I don’t like going into the fire. But you know, just like these guys, we have to make a decision on whom we are going to serve. God or man? I choose God, It might not be a popular decision today but it will only get harder. When we make the right decisions then God can get the glory. Maybe we want see it but the world will see how God is in the fire with us. He will not leave you no matter what the situation is. God bless.
