Daniel 3: 28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
The trio refused to worship the king or his idol, and yet they survived the fiery furnace. Their level of faith was awe-inspiring. They had been living well under the king, but their integrity remained. They had not been corrupted by power.
The king himself saw this. Although he was not yet converted to the worship of the true God, he recognized the power the trio had in their act of faith.
Wouldn't it be nice if unbelievers were able to see the same traits in today's Christians?
Prayer: Strengthen my faith, O Lord. Let the example of my faithfulness be a beacon to unbelievers and believers alike. Help me to trust you completely.
Amen
