The Hebrew men refused to fall down and worship the king's gold image. Even those with high authority like governors would fall down but not Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego. They would not fall down to the king's gold image! These men would not bow down to no other god but the living God. This made the king furious, that everyone would bow when the music is played, but not these three men. Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego trusted in the Son of God with all their hearts.
The king commanded that they are thrown in the fiery furnace. Not only that, but turn the heat up seven times hotter. The men that took the Hebrew men to the fiery furnace died from the fire. When Shadrech, Meshach, Abed-nego was in the fire, that's when the Son of God showed up and saved them. The Hebrew men had great faith in God and they said, "even if our God doesn't show up; He is able!" When the Nebuchadnezzar saw the three men walking around, then Jesus appeared. He was shocked, I thought it was suppose to be three men in the fire, Why do I see four men and One looks like the Son of God? The king immediately ordered that these men be set free. He began to praise their God.
God would like for us to hold on to our faith in Him. And remember He may not always come when we want him to show up. "But still God is able to show up in the midst of the fire."Let us pray, thank You Lord for allowing us to see another day that You have made. Help us Lord to be able to be obedience to your words and do what is pleasing to You. Forgive us for our sins. Help us to abide in You always that you may abide in us always, in Jesus Name Amen.
