March 24, 2025 – One Big Decision Settles Other Decisions
Daniel 3:14-15
Sermon: 1651 When Faith Is in the Fire, Part 1
Pray Over This
“Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, ‘Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up? Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?’”
Daniel 3:14-15
Ponder This
Have you ever left for dinner not knowing where you wanted to go? You pull out of the driveway and ask, “Where do you want to go?” The people with you say, "What do you want?” And you say, “Well, I don't know.” And you're steering the car all over the city. If you know you’re going to a certain place, you just turn and go, right? You made one big decision, then the rest is automatic.
Daniel and his friends had God’s Word hidden in their hearts. They already knew what was right and what was wrong. When Nebuchadnezzar asked what the young men would do, they didn’t have to think about it. Their faith was settled; and it was strong. In verse 17 they said, “Our God . . . is able.” They believed God, even when Nebuchadnezzar asked, “Who is the god who will deliver you?” God will deliver us. If He doesn’t deliver us through the fire, He’ll deliver us in the fire. But He will deliver us. Have faith in God: He cannot fail. Have faith in God: He must prevail. He watches over His own. Have faith in God.
- How has your decision to place your faith in God changed your life?
- Why is it important that we settle this decision of faith before we face a major challenge?
