Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you refuse to serve my gods or to worship the gold statue I have set up? I will give you one more chance to bow down and worship the statue I have made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments. But if you refuse, you will be thrown immediately into the blazing furnace. And then what god will be able to rescue you from my power?” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.” Daniel 3:14-18 NLT
This three Hebrew boys knew who their God was and also knew who was with them. They were loyal to Him in the midst of adversity. They magnified their God in the midst of their enemy. And the bible says God in their midst stop the fury furnace from burning them up. But the same fire that could not burn them up destroy their enemy. Please read Daniel 3:14-28.
But suddenly, Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and exclaimed to his advisers, “Didn’t we tie up three men and throw them into the furnace?” “Yes, Your Majesty, we certainly did,” they replied. “Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god !” Then Nebuchadnezzar came as close as he could to the door of the flaming furnace and shouted: “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stepped out of the fire. Then the high officers, officials, governors, and advisers crowded around them and saw that the fire had not touched them. Not a hair on their heads was singed, and their clothing was not scorched. They didn’t even smell of smoke! Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel to rescue his servants who trusted in him. They defied the king’s command and were willing to die rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.” Daniel 3:24-28 HSV
God Almighty wants to show Himself through us in the midst of adversity. All what is required of us is to stay loyal to Him and always magnify His presence in us and with us in Jesus Christ mighty name.
Just as God sought out the Hebrews boys may He also turn your situation around that you may facing right now in Jesus Christ mighty name.
Let’s pray together:
Heavenly Father I thank You for Your word. And just like the three Hebrew boys I declare a turn of my situation in Jesus Christ mighty name. Amen.
