“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up” Daniel 3:16-18, NKJV.
It is better to be in the fire with Jesus than to be outside of it without Him. It’s better to be in the fire with Jesus than to be in your comfort, yet out of His will. You may not know what your outcome will be, but as long as you are in the fire with Jesus, you will be alright. The truth is God’s decision, His outcome, His sovereign plan and will, is sometimes different from ours. Yet, even in your pain, even in your waiting, even when you have to still obey Him, let the Father know, no matter what, you trust Him right now. He’s there with you, and He’s going to do something glorious through it. This is a place of great peace when you choose to make this your faith decision.
Prayer: Father, thank You that when I feel like I’m in the fire, Jesus, You are in it with us. I’d rather be in the fire with You than outside of it without You. I receive Your great peace. No matter what the outcome, I will be alright. I put my trust in Your sovereign plans for me. You are with me now, and You will bring something glorious through it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
