2 Samuel 3:1-39; Micah 6:1-16; Romans 11:13-36
Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us. Daniel 3:17
My favourite Bible story is about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I love how these men refused to follow the crowd. They stood alone when all the rest bowed down. King Nebuchadnezzar was furious because his supremacy was challenged, so he ordered that they be cast into a furnace. But that fire had no power over the servants of God.
When the king looked inside, he saw four men! He said to his officials, “The fourth is like the Son of God” (v. 25). He then acknowledged the supremacy of their God. The pressure on Christians to conform to the world around us is continual. There is much we can learn from these three faithful believers. —Pam Hagey
Not I, but Christ, be seen, be known, be heard.
Not I, but Christ in every thought and word.
