Daniel 3

When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego refused to serve or worship king NebuchadnezzarÕs gold image, they were sentenced to harsh penalty which was death by furnace fire. They were determined to stand their ground for God. King Nebuchadnezzar went further to question them about who would deliver them. They were so sure of their God with their response in Daniel < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>3:16, ÒShadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, ÔO Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.ÕÓ Is there any matter that is demanding you to compromise your faith? Is the matter threatening to you? You can be rest assured that you have no need to answer the matterÕs question, just like those men of faith. Trust in the God that you serve. They trusted God and responded in Daniel 3:17, ÒIf that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.Ó Having been delivered from the furnace fire, king Nebuchadnezzar spoke in Daniel 3:28, ÒBlessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the kingÕs word, yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!Ó Your trust in God will frustrate the hand and moves of the enemy in your life. Your trust in God will promote you in the presence of your enemy. Ask God to endue you with the grace that causes man to stand in trust regardless of confronting matter.
