If We Are Thrown Into The Blazing Furnace,

The God Whom We Serve 

Is Able To Save Us

Scripture

Daniel 3

¹⁷ If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. ¹⁸ But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”

Observation

I want the faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. How about you? This is real faith! I love it when they respond to King Nebuchadnezzar and say, “But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.” 

I love this story. 

²¹ So they tied them up and threw them into the furnace, fully dressed in their pants, turbans, robes, and other garments. ²² And because the king, in his anger, had demanded such a hot fire in the furnace, the flames killed the soldiers as they threw the three men in. ²³ So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, securely tied, fell into the roaring flames.

²⁴ But 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!

The fire was so hot that it killed the men that threw them into the fiery furnace yet not a hair on their heads were singed, and they didn’t even smell of smoke! Amazing!

We have a God that can take care of us just like He did Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 

Application

Today I will believe God is just who He says He is and I will believe that He will do everything He has promised to do.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, this story is in the Bible to encourage us. You have showed us what You will do for those who trust in You. Lord I know that You will keep Your promises.
