Be Steadfast In Challenging Times
But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed towards Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated – Daniel 3:18-19
The three Hebrew Men Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were steadfast in the midst life threatening Challenges.
The king had set up a Golden Image for everyone to bow to, or be thrown into a fiery furnace.
The three Hebrew Men were resolute and unwavering in their resolve not to serve any idol even at the risk of their lives.
Let us take a look at what to do to be Steadfast in Challenging times:
