In the book of Daniel, three
amazing
young men did one
amazing
thing. Shadrach,
Meshach,
and Abednego were
willing
to end their lives for God.
They knew that God didn’t want them to
worship King
Nebuchadnezzar’s golden idol. Even though King
Nebuchadnezzar
warned them that they would be thrown
into the
fire, they did not give in. Instead, they remained
faithful
and went into the fiery furnace.
The furnace was so hot that the guards
who threw them
into the
furnace were instantly killed. But, God sent an angel to
Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego and they were saved
without a
single scratch! The king was so astonished, that
he gave a
new law, “So now I make this law: The
people
of any nation or language must
not say anything against
the God of Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego. Anyone
who does will be torn apart.
And his house will be turned
into a pile of stones. No other
god can save his people like
this.” (Daniel 3:29)
We, as Christians, need to have a strong
faith. If
we continue
to serve God faithfully, He will help us
through
the “fiery furnaces” we face in our lives. “Even
if
I walk through a very dark valley, I will
not be afraid
because
you are with me. Your rod and your walking stick
comfort me” (Psalm 23:4) - Currie Ann
