Dan. 3 [The Message]
When God rescued the three Hebrew boys from the fiery furnace, we have clear lessons on worship. They refused to bow down to the great image the king had constructed. Their penalty was to be cast into a fire stoked seven times hotter than normal. God protected them and visited them IN THE FIRE with One Who looked like the Son of a God … hmmmm, wonder Who.
When you get thrown into challenging situations and are tempted to go the way of the world, DON’T GIVE IN AND BOW DOWN. You will get through it and you’ll find ropes of bondage are burned off.
