He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.” (Daniel 3:25). The "Three Hebrew Children" who refused to bow the knees to the idol of gold and worship it, were cast for their defiance into a fiery furnace that burned with incredible intensity.
The man who threw them in died of heat because he came too close to the flames. But these men of faith were unhurt by the fire, and the preincarnate Christ walked with them in the midst of the furnace.
Lord, you will be with us when we take a stand for you in faith. When we defy the world's standards and refuse to fit in with the surrounding culture, we may pay a price. But we, like Daniel's three friends, must resolve not to bow to idols even if you do not rescue us from resultant suffering or even death. But we know that you can always deliver us and trust you will work all things together for our good. By PS. Rajesh Patil
