Praise the Lord and God bless each and everyone of you this New Years day. To God be all the glory. This day I want to speak about “No Matter The Storm” Now if there’s anything we all have in common is “a storm” or better known as “hard times” A job situation, family, friends, finances, situations that leave you questioning everything and everyone, and some times life itself. I want to share with you the story of 3 youth that refused to give in to the demand of the King. Daniel 3:16-30 The “3 youth in the fire” are Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Hebrew men in the biblical Book of Daniel who refused to bow to King Nebuchadnezzar’s giant gold statue, choosing God over the king, The fire was so hot that the flames killed the strong soldiers. They were killed when they went close to the fire to throw in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego fell into the fire. They were tied up very tightly. Then King Nebuchadnezzar jumped to his feet. He was very surprised and he asked his advisors, “We tied only three men, and we threw only three men into the fire. Is that right?” His advisors said, “Yes, King.” The king said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire. They are not tied up and they are not burned. The fourth man looks like an angel.” Then Nebuchadnezzar went to the opening of the hot furnace. He shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, come out! Servants of the Most High God, come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire. When they came out, the satraps, prefects, governors, and royal advisors crowded around them. They could see that the fire had not burned Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Their bodies were not burned at all. Their hair was not burned, and their robes were not burned. They didn’t even smell as if they had been near fire. Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Their God has sent his angel and saved his servants from the fire! Listen YOU the reader, I want to encourage you that your situation may seem unfair or impossible to be repaired but just as those three youth were in the middle of the fire just as you are right now, it wasn’t them that saw Jesus in the fire with them. It was the king’s servants that saw Jesus in the midst of the men. I want you to understand the fire you are going through is only for God to be glorified no matter how hot it may get, Jesus is with YOU! And when it is all said and done He will get all the glory. And you will not be damaged or affected by the fire you was once in. I pray the word of God ministered to your life just as much as it did me. To God be all the glory! God bless you all. Leave comments and share with others that may be going through the fire!
