Bible Verse of The Day – 10-2-21

Daniel 3:29 (NKJV)  29 Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this.”

God revealed Himself to king Nebuchadnezzer by delivering these three men, Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-Nego, after they had been thrown into a fiery furnace.

They came out with not even a hair singed on any of them. And they did not even smell like smoke!

This made a big impression on the king. He and many others saw God move that day.

What an amazing moment! I love how the King asked, “didn’t we put three men in the furnace? But, I see four, and the fourth is like the Son of God”.

Daniel 3:25 (NKJV) 25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

I would have been shouting at that moment! Woohoo!!

Why did God deliver them? Because they trusted Him. Because they were loyal to Him, and because they would not bow and worship a statue. They stood their ground.

Let us ponder on this today and ask ourselves; would we have been willing to stand up for what we believe, knowing that if we did, we may suffer severe consequences?

It’s hard to imagine that someday we may face such decisions. But know that if that day ever comes, like it did for Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-Nego, God is our deliverer.

Be brave and don’t cave in. He will be there with us. Amen.
