GOD is in the fire! "Look!" he answered, "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 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were forced into an unfair situation. Either they would choose to bow to the king and his idol or they could choose to stand for the true and living God they served. The three of them were bound and were put into a fire so hot that the men who escorted them in were killed inadvertently. Most of us know how the story ends...the Lord God Almighty, showed up on the scene and not one hair on their bodies nor was their clothing singed by the flames. So what's my point? You may be faced with some unfair practices and situations in your life right now. Your finances may be under attack, your health may be challenged and your peace of mind may be disturbed. Quite frankly, all hell may have broken out around you today. Whatever the situation is that has your mind going like a horse on a race track and your spirit man pacing the floor of your temple, rest at ease that GOD is in the fire. That circumstance might be a hot issue going on right now. You may not know if you'll have electricity tomorrow when you hit the switch or if your car will be outside when you leave for work in the morning, just know that GOD is in the fire! The doctor may not know what to do and the prognosis looks grim; just know that GOD is in the fire! Your children may be turning completely out and you may be at odds with your spouse threatening the very core of your family, know that GOD is in the fire! Beloved, don't be afraid of the fire because GOD is going to meet you there. You may not be able to see it right now. You may not know where you next blessing is coming from. You may not be able to track how the next miracle is going to take place in your life, but I guarantee you this one thing...GOD is able! Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego didn't have time to worry or complain about the situation. There was no option for compromise or confusion. They simply concluded that whatever the king decided to threaten them with, however the king decided to attack them, that they served a God who is able. He is able to protect us. He is able to keep us. He is able and He is willing to rescue us in our time of need. Don't be afraid of the fire, because GOD is in there waiting for you to pull you out of that situation and to bring deliverance to every area of your life! The pressure is on and the fire is smoking. What are you going to do? |
