Another in the Fire!
“Another in the Fire!”
The book of Daniel chapter 3 recounts the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego and how they escaped the fiery furnace of King Nebuchadnezzar.
The king had it in his heart to build a giant sculpture of himself and have the entire people bow down and worship the image.
Those who did not bow to the image were warned that they would be thrown into a fiery furnace.
It was found out that there were three men who did not bow to the image, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
The three men were brought before the king and after being warned again of their impending doom, they refused to bow to the image, declaring boldly that their God was able to save them and even if He didn’t, they would not bow!
The king in hasty anger commanded the fire to be heated seven times hotter and the three men to be bound and tossed in.
The fire was so hot that it burned to death the mighty men as they dropped the three bound into the fire.
Astonished, the king leapt to his feet!
He said, didn’t we throw three men bound into the fire?!
The people around him said yes.
The king said I see four men loosed and walking in the midst of the fire and the form of the fourth looks like the Son of God!!!
After calling the men out of the fire, the king and all the people present were amazed and stood in awe because there was zero singing on any of their clothes nor was there any smell of smoke on them!
The three men stood there whole and happy as a testament of the power and might of the one true King!
Listen, these are trying times.
We are being pressured on all sides to bow to the images of fear and worry and despair and sickness.
But, if we in the midst of it all, will worship the Lord anyway, share the Good News anyway, encourage, uplift, be the hands and feet, and mouth of Jesus anyway...
If we refuse to bow to the images, God will walk with us through the fire and we will not get burnt!
We will come out on the other side as a living testament of the Grace and Goodness of the Lord!
Listen, the world is watching.
What we do now, in this hour,
What we say,
What we post,
It matters.
Life is connected.
Keep praying. Keep giving. Keep believing.
I love you all :)
What you make happen for others, God
In Christ,

“For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
