Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!" So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.Daniel 3:26-27
Most raised in church know the story of these three young men who refused to bow to an idol so were flung into a very blazing furnace only to emerge unscathed. So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego would not bow down to this giant statue. For defying idolatry, they were thrown into the fire.
What idols do we face today? It may not be a gold statue but it could be a host of other things that subtly Satan has made seem culturally ok. But things the devil tricks you with are never ok. (Read the article I attached. Kind of creepy in my opinion.)
Walk in spirit of truth and love being alert to Satan’s tricks to seemingly want humans to exalt themselves over God. Run your race with God out front!
PRAYER:I choose Lord to stay away from idols so help me always be discerning but to never guilt others to convict them but to keep prayer alive. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
