Daniel 3:16-18
¹⁶Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. ¹⁷If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. ¹⁸But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
The book of Daniel awakens love, and boldness to go for God admist all challenges of life. The text above clearly shows how Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego “respectfully” disobeyed king Nebuchadnezzar from serving his gods.
This comes to us today, how we react towards ungodly circumstances around us from our kings, our parents, teachers, religious leaders, political leaders etc…
When we find ourselves in such situations, it is an opportunity to manifest God and His supremacy to the unbelievers. It is the time for us to let the light of God shine before the unbelievers.
God is glorified through our faith and trust in Him.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
It is also an opportunity to put our faith into work.
James 2:14
Faith Without Works Is Dead
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?).
Are you able to have faith that He is able to deliver you from any uncertainty just like Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego?
Are you able to go for God at all times and demonstrate His supremacy? Daniel 3.
Prophetic Utterance.
God is my deliverer.
I am God’s ambassador.
I am the light of God.
I am victorious.
I win always.
I am for God’s signs, wonders and miracles.
