Do Whatever, God has my back

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king.
But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." Daniel 3:16-18

Simply put, three young men said, “If a miracle occurs to save us … GREAT!  But, miracle or not, we serve God, who is able to save and keep us!”  No matter what, don’t falter in your faith and turn away form He who is Savior.  Three faithful young men received a miracle; when they were thrown into the inferno, the fires of hell could not stand against God – three went into the intense fire of a furnace, but:

 
’Look! … four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed,’ … [they] came out of the fire, …not harmed … [nor]  heads singed; robes… not scorched, and … no smell of fire on them.”

Hallelujah!

The issue isn’t what to ask for, what to expect, nor what to demand,… God’s promises are by His grace and mercy – not by our demands.  The issue is to serve God in faith, and know that He will deliver you – Jesus has you.  Follow the example of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, in obedient faith let Jesus lead you out, un-scorched and without the smell of smoke.

Holding onto the hand of my Deliver,
