“So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.”
Isaiah 41:10
Shadrach , Meshach and Abednego were followers and worshippers of the One True God of Israel . (Daniel 3: 8-97 )
When they were asked to worship the false gods and the golden statue of King Nebuchadnezzar , they refused and were thrown into the fiery furnace .
They chose to follow and obey the commandments of the Lord God Almighty -“ You shall have no other gods before me”; “ you shall not make idols” Exodus 20:2-17 ; Deuteronomy 5:6-21
They chose correctly to only worship the Living God instead of man made idols of this world . Because they knew that it is more important to please the Lord God than humans. We should also always remember to choose God before all man made things /traditions / rituals /demands . Because the Lord has promised us that “No weapons forged against you will prosper “ Isaiah 54:17 and
“ When God is with us who can be against us “ Romans 8:31 .
Also “Give us aid against the enemy , for the help of man is worthless. With God we will gain the victory and He will trample down our enemies .”- Psalm 60: 11-12
When we trust in the Lord with all our heart and do not lean on our own understanding . And in all our ways acknowledge Him then He will make all our paths straight . Amen
God sent his angel and rescued Shadrach , Meshach and Abednego and they were safe in the fiery furnace and not a hair of their head was singed . When king Nebuchadnezzar saw this he was humbled and glorified God and gave them higher honor and position in his kingdom .
When we trust in the Lord , He delivers us and keeps us safe and exalts and gives us honor in front of our enemies according to Psalm 23:4-5 , Psalm 91 :14-16
