Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Last night I was a familiar Bible story that really struck a cord with me that it never has before. I read the story about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. You probably heard the story before. King Nebuchadnezzar made a HUGE stature of gold and he commended that everyone bow down to it. If you did not bow down to gold stature you would be thrown into the fiery furnace. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abenego refused to bow down to it and King Nebuchadnezzar was furious. He ordered the strongest solders to throw them into the fiery furnace. They kept their calm and said that their God would take care of them, and if He did not, they would still not bow down to the stature. They were thrown into the furnace and the King and officials were shocked when they saw 4 people in the furnace instead of 3. God had saved them! When they got out of the furnace they didn't even smell like smoke. I wish I had the faith that Shadrack, Meshach and Abendego had. I would love to believe no matter what circumstance is dealt my way, that He will take care of. Trusting God in the face of uncertainty can be very scary however he is worthy of our trust, and he will never let us down. As I have gotten older and can see how God worked in my life during certain periods shows me that I can trust Him with my present and future. God will make a way when there seems to be no way. I pray that we can have the faith and courage Shadrach, Meshach and Abenego had- to stand up for what we believe in and trust in God's provision!
