Faith in the Furnace

Old North Church
Boston, MA

"Look!" Nebuchadnezzar shouted. "I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a son of the gods!" (Daniel 3:25)

I love the Old Testament book of Daniel. I love Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego's unshakable faith in the midst of a fiery furnace. I love Jesus for walking with them through the hot, blazing flames and bringing them out unscathed not even smelling of smoke. 

Lord, I sit on the sidelines today, watching dearly loved ones maneuver an excruciating fiery furnace. Give them unshakable faith, dear Jesus, and bring 'em out unharmed not even smelling of smoke!
