The fiery furnace


Daniel 3:15-29

The story of the faithful 3 Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will always remind us that God is greater the man. We seem to forget that God will get us through are most difficult times no matter what you maybe going through.    

Our flesh can only see as far as we can look line of sight. Our strength is limited in this world. If you work through God, we can receive a booster in our lives with unlimited favors from the Lord. God is not line of sight. He is our overseer with no limitation.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

I John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

The devil from the beginning create a mindset that we can overpower God.

Genesis 3:4 Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.  

After the great flood. If you recall as the world began to turn against God again. Man created a tower to reach God, The Lord was very angry with man and change the course of man that day.

The tower of Babel

Genesis 11:4-11 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

The 3 Hebrew boys proved their faith by not trying to feature out God from a carnal, or a theory of scientific methods which ends up in endless studies of dead ends. They knew if they trusted in the Lord as a loving God they would have the upper hand on any issues of life. You are a winner with the Lord on your side. Who could compete with God?   

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?       

Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

As we could see in our last days science is increasing in knowledge to feature out where heaven and God exist. This is a reminder of another Babel days. The bible tells us that man will increase in knowledge.   

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Pray always, and always look to the Lord for direction. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had a relationship with God that would never change their mind to compromise their faith. They really loved the Lord to give there human life up for God. They had a love that was authentic.
