"Look" he answered, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire and, they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." Daniel 3:25 NKJV
There are two points that I want to raise here (1) They are not hurt (2) The Son of God was with them. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had disobeyed the king by refusing to bow down to the golden image he had created. Therefore, he had them thrown into the raging furnace - seven times hotter than usual. One would have thought that they would have been vaporised in such heat. However, when Nebuchadnezzar looked inside the furnace, he saw four people - the fourth being Jesus. They had been delivered, the king couldn't believe it; even their hair and clothes were till intact and there was no smokey smell on them. Amazing.
Just consider this for a moment; in the most diabolical times of life Jesus can be there for us so that we are not hurt. So, what predicament are you in at this moment? You may be going through a nightmare situation, frightened and with no possible solution or future that you can see. For a moment, step aside and focus on the fact that whatever it is Jesus has the ability to fix it, no matter how hot the problem is. He can bring you through it all with no smell or aftermath. He has the capability to perform this for you, and He is willing. Because you have asked Him to be your Lord and Saviour, He is right there with you waiting for you to turn to Him.
Try and put yourself in these men's position. They were facing certain death and they knew it. However, they stood on God's Word and would not turn to another God. Therefore, they entered the raging fire. They had no knowledge of what was going to happen, they just went. I believe that as they entered the heat, they called on God, the God who was right there with them; and He went into action for them. You may also be in a dire situation and there appears no way out; you may need healing; you may have serious need of provision financially because of rent or mortgage debts or you may be facing bankruptcy or disciplinary action at work because of trumped up accusations. It could be anything. Take into your heart today that, God will not allow you to go under or get hurt; He will be right beside you and His intention will be to deliver you. Just believe it and go in faith.
