Daniel 3For three stories in a row, a pattern is developing. God’s people are put in danger because of their commitment to him, and he rescues them out of that danger. One moral that can be deduced from this pattern is that times of testing will come to us. But it is important to realize that we are not really the ones who are being tested. The conclusion of the matter, as Nebuchadnezzar found, is “there is no other god who is able to rescue.” Babylon was filled with deported peoples from numerous “peoples, nations and languages.” They had served many gods. Yet only the LORD proved faithful to his people.
LORD, when the fiery furnace comes, we will trust in you. Only you are able to rescue.
