Read Daniel 3:1-30. Could, you even begin to imagine being sentence to die by the way of the fiery furnace heated seven times hotter than
it had ever been. Now, Peter knew the deep rooted spirituality application for today's Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. For, peter Said: " Beloved, think it not strange concerning fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange
thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's
sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. How are these related the New and Old Testament scriptures?
Notice, there is always going to be someone who will test your faith in God as did the king to the Hebrew boys . You bow down to me or die. Now days you have family, friends, bosses, and coworkers that will ask you to compromise what you believe for that promotion, friendship, for love, and more.
Just like you have worldly morals, principles, and values. A spiritual believer has spiritual morals, principles, and values lived out of the Bible to help one endure the suffering of everyday life. While, the world threatens to take all you have if you don't bow down to it's image. I know it does not feel good to suffer for the name of Christ . It is worth the sacrifice to go to heaven then to have your heaven on earth but when you die it is certain you can't take nothing with you. The king under estimated the power of The Almighty
just like we are being under estimated by the world having the same God.
Malachi 3:6 , For I am the Lord, I change not: therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. So, then if God is the same God who delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He the same God who will deliver us and has delivered us without traces of the fire burning us, no smell of smoke like standing in front of the grill, and not even a hair being singed nor clothes burned up. The good part about it is we come out way better than when we went in. No matter how hot your furnace may be. There is nothing to hard for the Lord! If only we fall down in the midst of the furnace God will begin to walk around with us in the furnace , showing His glory.
