Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are about to be set ablaze because the refuse to worship the golden image made by King Nebuchadnezzar. They know that they will be thrown into a fiery furnace if they do not bow down and worship this golden image yet their faith stands strong.
Does my faith stand strong when my comfort and security is at risk? Do I stand confident that God will provide? Do I really trust that He is best and does best?
Some days are easier than others, some days I just want to throw myself a pity party with cupcakes and confetti. Inching towards 30 and not exactly where I planned to be in life. Actually, none of this is where I planed to be. But does this change the faithfulness of the Lord? Absolutely not! Do I always remember this truth? Absolutely not! In fact I often feel like He isn't hearing my cries for a husband and a family. Oh Lord, if this isn't something you want for me then take this desire away! But the desire doesn't budge. These are good things, marriage is good, family is good, but God is better. And even if one day He doesn't take the desire away but He says no, He will still be good.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked into that furnace knowing that God could save them, but even if He didn't He is still good.
Spoiler: He does save them.
