Daniel 3
When prayer is rendered unto God, there is always an answer. God alone is God and He alone knows the best response to your request. It does not matter how long you have been praying or what you are asking for, the will of God is always the answer, not how you think or feel the answer should be. An order was put in place for whoever fails to fall down and worship NebuchadnezzarÕs gold image. Daniel 3:6, ÒAnd whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning furnace.Ó DanielÕs friends (Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego) refused to fall down before the image in worship. Despite being in captivity, their heart did not depart from their God. There was no bitterness against God who was able to have denied captivity before they were taken captive. The love that they have for God was intact so they could not fall for any god. They were ready to face the penalty of death by the fiery furnace. They were serving God, and in that situation they needed to trust God. It is one thing to serve God; it is another to stand in trust for what he can do. They will not bow so they responded in Daniel 3:17-18, 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. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.Ó They knew that only God could deliver, yet they acknowledged the fact that if they do not get what they wanted from God, God cannot be reduced in their life. He knows the best for you and He has the best answer. Let the will of God be done, commit your request into His hand and he will omit the ones that are not for you. He has never failed. God will not fail concerning yours in Jesus name.
