Fix Your Foundation, Despite The Cost

April 10, 2019

From today’s reading…

…know, O king,

that we will not serve your god

or worship the golden statue that you set up.”

King Nebuchadnezzar was used to getting his way, which is why he allowed his pride to turn to rage as he had Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego thrown into the furnace he had super-heated because the disobeyed his order to worship his idol.

But the king’s heart and mind were changed when he saw the miracle of

…four men unfettered and unhurt,

walking in the fire, and the fourth looks like a son of God.”

To his credit at least Nebuchadnezzar came around once he witnessed this miracle.

Many choose to either look the other way or deny its existence, its power, and its source when confronted with what can only be attributed to God because they can’t handle the challenge to their historical, traditional, foundational beliefs because they are comfortable and that would just take too much effort.

Be like Shadrach, Meshack, Abednego, and the new Nebuchadnezzar since that’s the only way to…

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.
