Walking in the midst of fire...!

Daniel 3:17-18, 24-25 NKJV

If that is  the  case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” “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.”

Shalom! Day #235. Do you know that even though you are placed in a fiery furnace for obeying God and do not want to defile yourself, well God Himself will come to your rescue? Let's pray. Father, as we obey and do your will we understand that there are hindrances, obstacles, testings will come our way. Give us a heart that will never falter in any situations and conditions as we put all our trust in You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

I don't know about you, but the GOD that I serve is mighty and able to rescue me from any kind of situations and conditions. Pslamist David wrote in psalms 23.... though I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Although they were placed in a difficult, life threatening situation, they did not choose to bow down and worship the gold idol, but they CHOOSE TO TRUST IN GOD! Halleluyah! Life is beautiful when your total dependant is on God. Life is interesting when you do not know what holds your tomorrow but you trust that God will bring you through it.

You see the fact here. Nebuchadnezzar cast three of Daniels friend's into the fire pit, then suddenly he saw got 4 people in the furnace. Who is that fourth person? Daniel? I don't think so. It's the Lord Himself came to their rescue. He that brought them into the fire is able to rescue and bring them out of the fire as well. I believe God allowed this to happen so that through this He wants to teach Nebuchadnezzar a lesson. See, they were not just placed there in the fire, but they were walking in the fire. They weren't thinking what to do or reminisce abput their fate, but they began to walk in the midst of the fire. Are we just allowing our pitty party to surround us and sink us or we have conquered over it and we rule he situation and not the situation rule us? Rise up above the impossibilities!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
