Bible Texts:
It really looked bleak for the three
Hebrew children, being tossed into the fire pit for their faith...but
then...Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, found that they were “not,”
alone.
Daniel 3:24-30 NLT (Be sure to
read the whole story Daniel 3:1-30.)
24 "...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.
25 “Look!” Nebuchadnezzar
shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire
unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!”
26 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.
27 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!
28 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.
29 Therefore, I make this decree: If
any people, whatever their race or nation or language, speak a word
against The God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they will be torn
limb from limb, and their houses will be turned into heaps of rubble.
There is no other god who can rescue like this!”
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the province of
Babylon.
For those who love
and serve The Lord, Christian victory is assured!
