Daniel 3:25 (ESV): “…But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”
Many of us are familiar with the Bible story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These were three Hebrew teenagers who were taken into captivity in Babylon. King Nebuchadnezzar was the evil ruler in that land. One day the king had a large golden statue built and commanded that everyone in the land bow down and worship it. These three young men, however, were determined to worship the One true God only, and thus were reported to the king. When the king received word that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego would not worship the idol, he had the men tied with strong cords and thrown into the fire.
When the king looked into the fiery pit, he was amazed to see FOUR men freely walking around. The king had Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego pulled out of the fire. Upon close inspection, the men were unharmed and did not even smell like smoke. The only thing that was burned were the cords that evil men tried to bind them with!
What happened to the fourth man? Well, He is still in the fire. When the enemy rages, when people try to ensnare you, or when life’s circumstances try to consume you, do not be afraid. Jesus is in the heat of the blaze, and He will deliver you!
Be fearless in Christ today!
