Meditate On
…“I see four men loose, walking in the
midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like
the Son of God.”
Daniel 3:25
God
Is With You In Your Fiery Trial
When Daniel’s friends, Shadrach, Meshach
and Abed-Nego, were cast into the fiery furnace by Nebuchadnezzar, guess who
showed up? Jesus! He was there in the furnace with them to protect and deliver
them. Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego came out of the fire totally
unharmed—“the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments
affected, and the smell of fire was not on them” (Daniel 3:27)!
My friend, when you go through a fiery
trial, the Lord is not somewhere far away, saying, “Yep, from the comfort of My
heavenly throne, I can see what you are going through. Even though I’m not with
you, I can see you, so just hang in there, okay?” No, He is right there with
you in your trial. Not only that, He will protect you and deliver you. The
Bible says that “God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond
what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape,
that you may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).
So whatever the fiery trial you are going
through today, God is right there with you. He will protect you, comfort you
and make a way of escape for you. Put your hand in His hand and let Him bring
you out of the “furnace” without even smelling of the smoke of your negative
circumstances!
