“He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.””
Daniel 3:25 NIV
Upon reflecting on the times that we are living in; I think the greatest reassurance for any believer is that God is with them. Between Trump and Elon Musk manipulative plans to turn the economy in the direction they desire it has left people uncertain. In times like these people need hope, encouragement, and an assurance that things are going to get better. I believe that we find hope in this verse today.
A familiar passage of scripture about these three Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These Hebrews decided that we won’t bow down to the image set up by the king, as result the consequence was to be thrown into fire. Is this not a modern exhibit of how we are expected to respond to the new commander in chief. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow to the image, so King Nebuchadnezzar threw them into the blazing fire which was turned up seven times hotter. The king looked in the fire and said we threw in three, but I see a fourth man. Bring them out and praise be to the God of these Hebrews, because their God is with them. Here’s the encouragement regardless of your furnace, obstacle, economy, or president in the Oval Office God is with you. There is no place that God won’t show up for those who believe. I hear somebody saying God showed up even when I was lost because when God has a plan for your life, you will be preserved. C. Austin Miles pins these words the best:
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
