The three Hebrew young men who were compatriots of Daniel refused to bow and worship the golden image Nebuchadnezzar erected and were cast into a fiery furnace as punishment. The Lord preserved them and honored their courage. The power of their God was evident to all. They were bold in their profession of faith.

Miracles are in store for those who take a stand for Christ and don’t cave in to the pressures of society and culture. God can protect His people from all danger.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, we trust You when we are persecuted. Your power is above all. We will not bow down to idols.

DAILY READING: Daniel 3,4
