Title: BELIEVE IN GOD AT ALL TIMES
Main Text: Daniel 3:10–30
“Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us… But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods.”
Believing in God is easy when everything is going well. But the real test of our faith comes when we are facing problems, delays, sickness, rejection, or situations that look impossible.
God wants us to believe in Him at all times—when things are good and when things are difficult.
The Bible gives us powerful examples of people who trusted God even when their lives were in danger. Among them were Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, and Daniel.
Their faith teaches us that God is faithful, and we should never stop believing in Him.
1. Believe in God Even When You Are Under Pressure
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were commanded by King Nebuchadnezzar to bow down and worship a golden image.
Everyone around them bowed down, but they refused.
The king threatened to throw them into a burning furnace if they did not obey.
But they answered:
“Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace.”
— Daniel 3:17
They believed that God could save them.
But their faith was even greater than that. They said that even if God did not deliver them, they still would not worship the idol.
Lesson:
*True faith does not say, “I will believe God only if He gives me what I want.”
*True faith says, “God is still my God, whether I understand what He is doing or not.”
2. God Can Be With You in the Fire
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace.
The king expected to see three men burning, but when he looked into the fire, he saw four men walking around.
God did not allow the fire to destroy them.
Daniel 3:25 says:
“I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt.”
What a mighty God!
Sometimes God removes us from the fire.
Sometimes He allows us to pass through the fire, but He goes through it with us.
You may be going through your own “fire” today—financial problems, family problems, disappointment, rejection, or another difficult situation.
Do not give up.
If God allows you to enter the fire, He will not abandon you in the fire.
3. Believe in God When You Are Alone
Daniel also showed great faith in God.
The king made a law that nobody should pray to any god or person except the king for thirty days.
Daniel knew about the law, but he did not stop praying.
Daniel 6:10 says:
“He kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.”
Daniel did not change his relationship with God because of a new law.
He continued to pray.
Lesson:
*Do not allow people to make you stop believing in God.
*Do not stop praying because your prayer has not yet been answered.
*Do not stop serving God because you are passing through difficulties.
*Believe in God at all times.
4. Daniel Trusted God in the Lion's Den
Because Daniel continued praying, he was thrown into the lions' den.
Humanly speaking, it looked like the end.
But God shut the mouths of the lions.
Daniel 6:22 says:
“My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me.”
Daniel trusted God, and God proved Himself faithful.
The same God who protected Daniel is still God today.
God has not changed.
5. Your Situation Does Not Change Who God Is
Sometimes we judge God by our circumstances.
When things are good, we say, “God is good.”
But when things become difficult, we begin to ask, “Where is God?”
The truth is that God remains good even when our situation is bad.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego believed God before entering the furnace.
Daniel believed God before entering the lions' den.
They did not wait to see the miracle before they believed.
Faith says:
*“I don't know how God will do it, but I believe He will make a way.”
*“I may not understand, but I will trust Him.”
*“I may be going through the fire, but God is with me.”
*“I may be surrounded by lions, but God is able to protect me.”
6. Keep Believing Until the End
Your situation may be difficult today, but do not give up on God.
The answer may not come when you expect it.
The door may not open when you want it.
But remember the three Hebrew men and Daniel.
God is able to deliver.
And even when we do not understand His timing, we can still trust His wisdom.
Psalm 46:1 says:
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Child of God,
Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, and Daniel teach us an important lesson:
Believe in God at all times.
Believe Him when you are happy.
Believe Him when you are crying.
Believe Him when you have plenty.
Believe Him when you have little.
Believe Him when the door is open.
Believe Him when the door seems closed.
Believe Him in the fire.
Believe Him in the lions' den.
God is faithful, and those who put their trust in Him will never be put to shame.
Do not bow to pressure.
Do not abandon your faith because of difficulties.
Do not stop praying because the answer is delayed.
Keep believing. Keep praying. Keep trusting. Keep serving God.
Your testimony is coming!
