Daniel 3: 24-25
3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his Counselors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is a picture of children of God who truly trust to uphold the faith in God. Although the king Nebuchadnezzar put them in a very hot fire, but their faith is not shaken. The fear and horror was in front of their sight. The image of pain and suffering also was in front of their sight. But they still would not worship the statue that is considered a gods by men. They just want to worship only for the true God. Their faith and determination finally was paid by God. They experienced God's miracles. They did not burn at all because the angel of God helped them. God really follow people those who fear of Him.
fireplace burning is a picture of the suffering that we experience today. Economic difficulties, illness, a broken family is a frightening image for us. Looks like we will experience suffering in front of us. While the world seems to offer something better and convenient to resolve our problem. There are paranormal who can cure you immediately, there was illegal business that can generate huge profits, there are also bars and casinos, which seemed to give peace to our souls. Everything was quick and easy. All the world offer is very interesting and unusual.
In this area God examine our faith. Will we still keep faithfuly to God even the shadow of suffering is in front of our sight? Will we still worship God even we are in trouble?
When we join and follow the way of the world, then the truth is we are leaving God and we worship the idols of the world. But when we keep the faith to worship only the Lord Jesus then the truth is God's angels are accompanying you to fortify you from the suffering. Remember! That the safety of the world is only temporary and only on the earth while the salvation of the Lord Jesus is the eternal and everlasting to the earth and in heaven forever
