“The king was overjoyed and ordered that Daniel be lifted from the den. Not a scratch was found on him, for he had trusted in his God.” - Daniel 6:23 (NLT)
“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty.” Daniel 3:17 (NLT)
Our promises from God in our verses today are found through the trust four people had in God’s provision and protection, even when faced with certain death. Whether the dangers we face are extreme or simple, they can stir up fear in our hearts. Just not knowing about our future well-being can be disturbing as many are experiencing these days. But Daniel survived the false accusations which led to a sentence of execution by lions. He came out unscathed because Daniel had trusted in his God. The three, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego told the king who was about to toss them into a furnace of fire that they would not bow to his image. They were even ready and trusting God if He had other plans. But God saved them. This is our God. He promises to protect us also and to deliver us from danger and threats. Do not fear the outcome of what is happening in the world today. God really does have you and all who believe under His protection. Our outcome is in His perfect wisdom and plan.
