True Object of Faith


Daniel 2-3

These chapters tell one of the great stories in the Bible, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego being cast into the fiery furnace.  It also relates a great truth of faith.  When given the ultimatum by King Nebuchadnezzar to either bow down or be cast into the tomb of fire here is their response,

“If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hands, O king.  But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”  3:17-18

One of the greatest truths of faith?  Our faith is not in what God does but in God!!!
