Stand with GOD!
Daniel 3:17-18 (NASB)
17 "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
18 "But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up."
+++++++++++++++++++
The three Hebrews refused to worship the king's image, at the threat of death. They were confident God could deliver them from the fire, but even if He did not, they refused to bow to the image. They trusted God to do what was right! They did not know what God would do. They just knew that the commandment was not to worship idols! So they stood fast!
--- This should bring us a searching question! Will we stand for Him in the face of opposition and possible death?
--- Many of our brothers and sisters around the world are doing just that today! One report says there have been thousands of martyrs just since 2000!
--- Would I stand? I hope so, but only through His power. Decide now to stand. Such decision cannot be made when we are facing the fire.
