CAN YOU FEEL THE FIRE?

By: Linda Kirby/WGON

Can you feel the fire? Are the flames licking at your feet? Is this fire burning you down to the point that you are getting weak in the faith? Oh, please remember the account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! Talk about feeling the fire! These men were thrown into a seven times hotter fire and Jesus was right there with them. He protected them to the point that not a hair on their head was singed nor was there smell of smoke on them. Their faith is what got them through that fire. Their faith was so strong that Jesus went there Himself and protected them. When things start to burn down around you and shakes you to the core, when the fire is getting so hot that it’s burning right through to your faith, remember, Jesus is right there with you. He will protect you to the point that not a hair on your head will be singed! However, you have to have the faith. With Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, God didn’t answer their prayers to not be thrown into the fire. Although they were thrown in, He was there with them. The point God wanted to make to the heathen was that He is God! Not their idols. So, perhaps, even if you have to endure some challenge, there is a point God is making; but He will be there with you all the way to protect you and get you to the end safely.
