"He said, 'Look!
I see four men walking around in the fire,
unbound and unharmed, and the fourth
looks like a son of the gods.'"
Daniel 3:25
One of my favorite Bible stories is the one where Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego are thrown into the fiery furnace by king Nebuchadnezzar because they
would not bow down to his image.
The king quickly realized that God had rescued them. Then he even
recognized their God throughout his kingdom.
There have been times when we have had to endure circumstances in our lives
which feel equally fiery -- illnesses, job losses, family problems, addictions,
loss of homes and possessions in natural disasters, and many more. Many
of us have prayed for God to rescue us and have still had to go through them.
Next time you are looking for a "way out" of something, turn instead
to the Word of God and to prayer. Know that He will help you "through"
anything in life which you may encounter.

ReplyDeleteWhen you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up—the flames will not consume you. 3 For I am the Lord your God, your Savior, the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 43:2-3a
