Daniel and his friends are tested in extraordinary ways. They survive a fiery furnace and a lion’s den. We should learn that in times of trial and persecution our attitude should reflect that of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: “But even if [God] does not [deliver us from this furnace], we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” (Daniel 3:18). Without question, these are some of the most courageous words ever spoken.
Additional scriptures referenced include Daniel 3:1-6, 14-16, 18, 23-25; Romans 5; Job 13:15; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Matthew 28:20; Psalm 55:22; Psalms 147:6; Matthew 25:41, 46; and Daniel 6:1-3, 16.
