I always love to read in the book of Daniel about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego..and we all know the story of how King Nebuchadnezzar threw these men into that fiery furnace..and how the men that took them there were slew all because the heat of that fire was so very hot..and at how when they threw them into those flames that it says they fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace..but I guess what amazes more than any of it all..is how Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. and He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loosed, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God..but long story short here..he goes and calls them forth out from them flames and they arose and came forth..Amen..it goes on in the word to say that the fire and those flames had no power, nor was one hair on their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire passed on them..Daniel 3:1-30..my point of saying all of this is that sometimes in our own lives the flames from that fire get turned up pretty hot on us..and life around us gets to being not so kind, to say the least..and it’s in those moments that we pray and that we cry..but for some they lose hope and they lose heart..but I have come tonight to say unto someone that God our Father is there with you in them flames..He is there in that fiery furnace right there with you just as He was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego..for our Lord walks this life with us..for He promises to never leave us nor ever forsake us..Deuteronomy 31:6..for yes it may get hot from time to time..and we all may question the why’s of life and we all may want them answers..but know that God is in control..and that them flames from that hot fiery trial will not harm you or your life..but you will come forth and when you do..Amen..the word says when the Lord has tried you, you will come forth as pure gold..Job 23:10..so know tonight and always recognize that our Lord is working and that He is there..and when we know that..we can rest because when God is in control nothing..and I mean absolutely nothing is ever out of control..so be still and know that He alone is God and that He will be exalted among the heathen, and He will be exalted in the earth..Psalm 46:10..for alone is God..and Jehovah is His name!”..for they say that some trust in chariots and others in horses but we will remember the name of the Lord our God..Psalm 20:7…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
