Reflections on Daniel 3 – Shad, Mesh, and Abed


Again! God and His favor!

The people who threw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (SMA) into the furnace were burned up and died. On the other hand, SMA were actually in the fire and survived. And to top it off, Jesus was in the fire with the homies! In fact, when they came out, it was noted that they didn’t even smell like smoke! And again, like King Darius, Nebby K Nezzer (thank you Veggietales) commands that everyone honor this God and further says, “Therefore, I make this decree, that any person of any nation, language, or religion who speaks a word against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn limb from limb and his house knocked into a heap of rubble. For no other God can do what this one does.”

God is with us. God is for us. God’s got it all worked out for our benefit. Whatever is in our best interest. Again we see this! He never leaves us - even if we are standing in a fire! He never forsakes us. SMA stood for Him and He stood for them. Showing Himself strong on their behalf.

I am reminded that I never ever want to deny Him or not do what I hear Him say to do. He’s always got my back. No matter what’s up, he works it for my best interest. Thank You Father!

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. (Proverbs 19:21)
