WHAT is CHALLENGING your FAITH at THIS TIME.
Read the story below and you will see that until you release all to God even at the point of death. When you keep trusting and obeying God. God will come forth for you.
God said we are not allow to bow and worship other gods and they stand on the words of God. They refused to worship the king golden god without fear to die for what they believe.
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.”
So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, securely tied, fell into the roaring flames.
“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 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.
