YOUR MIRACLE IS IN THE FIRE

BIBLE VERSE

But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." 19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual 20 and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. 21 So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. 22 The king's command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, 23 and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace. 24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, "Weren't there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?" They replied, "Certainly, O king." 25 He said, "Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods." 26 Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!" So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, 27 and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them. Daniel 3:18 - 27

NOTE

If life has pushed you to your limits, it's time to adopt the unwavering attitude of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Despite standing firm in your faith, it may feel like the world is relentlessly bearing down on you. You might have expected God to rescue you from the flames, and you've faithfully prayed, fasted, and followed the teachings of Christianity. However, your circumstances remain unchanged or even worsen. But don't let the weight of it all bring you down.

In the face of despair, remember that when the devil intensifies the heat, God doesn't always remove you from the fire. Instead, He promises to walk alongside you through the flames. Whether you're battling sickness, going through a divorce, facing financial ruin, grieving the loss of loved ones, dealing with disappointments, experiencing rejection, or grappling with failures, know that you will emerge unscathed. God's favor will find you amidst the challenges, breaking the chains that bind you. He will uplift and promote you, and others will witness His goodness manifested through your unwavering faith.

So, take heart and keep pressing forward. The fire you walk through is not meant to consume you but to refine and strengthen you. Trust that God is working in the midst of your trials, and He will bring about a breakthrough. Just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego emerged from the fiery furnace untouched, you too will rise above the flames with resilience, unwavering faith, and a testimony that shines brightly for all to see.
