Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King 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 deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” - Daniel 3:16-18 Can you imagine yourself in the sandals of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego? Moments from being thrown into a super hot fiery furnace because of your faith in God, yet still completely confident and calm because you know you are being obedient to Him. That's the kind of faith I want people to see when they look at me. Standing firm in the knowledge that God is powerful enough to save me from anything, but accepting the fact that He might not. No one likes it when our prayers are answered, "No." But that's because we're trying to follow our own plan and not God's plan. We must have faith that absolutely whatever happens, be it pain, loss, heartbreak, or death by fiery furnace, God's plan is for our good. He is still good!
